Johnson signed a one-year deal with the Eagles on March 14.
EDGE Analysis
The 2021 seventh-round pick of the Eagles spent his first three plus seasons with the team before being waived last September. Johnson was claimed by the Giants and played in 12 games with his new team before suffering a knee injury and missing the last three contests of the regular season. The linebacker recorded four tackles (three solo) in 2024 and has played more on special teams than defense in all four of his NFL seasons.

Johnson (ankle) was listed as a full participant on the Eagles' injury report Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Johnson was forced out with an ankle issue during the second half of Sunday's win over the Packers, leaving him limited during Wednesday's walkthrough. However, his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates he should be ready to go against Tennessee in Week 13. Johnson has recorded five tackles and one forced fumble while playing the majority of his snaps on special teams this season, and he'll likely continue to provide depth at linebacker moving forward.

EDGE Analysis
