The Eagles have really missed their Pro Bowl right tackle, who has been replaced by Jordan Mailata.
Johnson was a surprise inactive for the Eagles’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4 and has not played since.
The team has only said it was a personal matter and would not go into any details.
Johnson started and played every offensive snap in the Eagles’ first three games this season.
Since the Eagles drafted him in the first round in 2013, Johnson has started 102 games and made three Pro Bowls.
The Eagles play at the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
Durning his weekly interview with 94WIP, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni reiterated the support Johnson has from the team as he makes his return.
“Obviously Lane is a big part of everything we want to do here,” he said this morning.
“He’s a great player, great person, I look forward to seeing him in the building. … We just want our players to know that we’re all here to support them at any time.”
