GREEN BAY, Wisc. − Eagles star right tackle Lane Johnson hurt his lower leg in the second quarter against the Green Bay Packers on Nov. 10.
The Eagles are listing him as questionable to return with an ankle injury.
It came as Saquon Barkley ran behind him for a big gain that was nullified by offsetting penalties. Johnson appeared to get hit in the ankle by a Packers defender.

Johnson was down on the ground for a few minutes, then limped off to the medical tent. He was replaced by Fred Johnson. Johnson then exited the tent and limped off slowly into the locker room.
Johnson, a 13-year-veteran, is a perennial Pro Bowl player.
Johnson was one of two offensive lineman not to allow a pressure this season. It’s not known if Johnson will be able to return in the game.
Earlier, wide receiver Darius Cooper left with a shoulder injury. But he returned later in the second quarter.
