Summary
Lane Johnson, 36, retired Tuesday after 14 seasons, saying he could not finish what he expected to be his final year because he must focus on his mental health.
The Eagles right tackle had played the first three games before a surprise Week 4 inactive designation for personal reasons, and said his personal and family priorities had changed.
Philadelphia now must replace a six-time Pro Bowler and two-time First Team All-Pro while already missing Landon Dickerson and dealing with injuries to DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby.
Johnson, the No. 4 pick in 2013, helped win two Super Bowls and leaves with a stark on-off split: the Eagles went 112-58-1 with him and 18-28 without him.
