Eagles plan to keep Lane Johnson on roster through season before processing retirement

MySportsUpdate said Johnson was active for the Eagles’ October 11 game against the Jaguars but would not play. It said Philadelphia planned to keep him on its 53-man roster for the rest of the season because of contract and salary-cap implications, then formally process his retirement in the offseason. Another solution remains possible, and the plan leaves the door slightly open if Johnson changes his mind.
