#Eagles OLB Patrick Johnson suffered a knee injury at practice today, an NFL source said.
Potentially season-ending, but will have to undergo testing for final diagnosis.

Johnson played 213 snaps as a backup linebacker last season, but was a crucial special teamer. Only three other players (Nakobe Dean, K’Von Wallace, and Zech McPhearson) played more snaps in that department. Johnson logged 315 snaps on ST and was on the field about 70% of the time.
Johnson is 25 years old, a 7th round pick out of Tulane back in 2021. He had a chance to carve out more playing time this season with departures in the LB group.
