PHILADELPHIA — Eagles tackle Lane Johnson intends to hold off core muscle surgery and return in time for the postseason, an NFL source said on Wednesday.
NFL Network was first with the report.
Johnson, who left Saturday’s game against the Cowboys early with a torn abductor muscle, consulted with various experts in the core muscle field, including William Meyers, the noted surgeon who is based in Philadelphia, before reaching his decision, a source said. He has already been declared out for the remaining two games of the regular season.
