Longtime Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson said Saturday that he'll likely retire after the 2026 season.
"It's looking like this is potentially, probably my last year," Johnson announced during training camp.
Johnson cited family as a key factor in his decision to consider retirement, adding that his "priorities away from football are starting to merge."

"Not everybody can do what LeBron James is doing," Johnson added, according to Ryan Novozinsky of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Johnson was absent from the Eagles' camp for four days this past week to deal with an undisclosed personal matter.
The 36-year-old has established himself as one of the NFL's greatest right tackles of all time, helping Philadelphia win two Super Bowls. The six-time Pro Bowler has made 168 starts since the Eagles drafted him fourth overall in 2013.
