Eagles' Lane Johnson avoids surgery, return timeline improved

Philadelphia Eagles' All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson's recovery from a Lisfranc injury is trending positively. Initial reports suggested a potential four-to-six week absence for the crucial offensive lineman. However, Johnson will not need surgery, leading to optimism that his time on the sidelines could be limited to just three games.

This improved outlook is the reason the team did not place Johnson on the injured reserve list over the weekend. The potential early return of Johnson is a significant boost for the Eagles' offensive line as they navigate upcoming matchups.

The team is hopeful that Johnson's recovery will allow him to return to the field much sooner than initially anticipated, providing much-needed stability and protection for the quarterback.
