Jalen Hurts Wants the Best for Lane Johnson's Last Season

Veteran offensive tackle Lane Johnson of the Philadelphia Eagles has announced that 2026 may be his final NFL season. Johnson, who is entering his 14th season with the team, cited his children and parents growing older as reasons for his decision. "Things change in your life, priorities. Your children get older, your parents get older, it just puts things into perspective," he said.

Despite his love for the game, Johnson is preparing for the end of his career. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts wants to ensure Johnson has a memorable final season. "I want to make sure it's a great year for him," Hurts said, acknowledging the courage it takes to declare the last game of one's career. The Eagles will begin their preseason schedule with a game against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night.
