Fred

Johnson

Johnson returns to the Eagles after signing with the Jaguars in March. The 28-year-old will likely be a backup bookend for Philadelphia; a role that he served for the majority of the 2024 season with the club.

The six-year veteran played the last two seasons with the Eagles. He started six of 17 games during the 2024 regular season and appeared in all four games during the playoffs, including Super Bowl LIX. The Jaguars have already signed free agents Patrick Mekari and Robert Hainsey this offseason in hopes of bolstering their offensive line. Pro Football Focus graded the Jacksonville offensive line as the league’s 12th-worst pass blocking unit in 2024.

The quietly productive defensive tackle was added to the injury report this week after practicing with a clean bill of health in Week 1. His consecutive limited participant designations are a positive sign for his Monday night availability. CB Isaiah Rodgers (hand) and LB Devin White (ankle) continued practicing in full.

Johnson has been a starter at guard for the Gators since 2016, but also has played right tackle for Florida. At 6-foot-6, 330-pounds, Johnson surely has the size to play in the NFL, but analysts project him to be a late-round pick at this conjecture. There’s lots of time before the draft, however, so testing well and performing in events like this can definitely improve that stock.
