The moment Philadelphia Eagles fans have been waiting for to see whether right tackle Lane Johnson will be stepping on the field in the Wild Card against the San Francisco 49ers.
That final injury report from the Eagles shows Johnson's status is... inconclusive. The Eagles currently have him listed as questionable with the foot injury, as he was limited in their final practice. Backup offensive lineman Brett Toth is also listed as questionable with a concussion and was also limited in practice, and edge rusher Azeez Ojulari is also questionable with his hamstring injury, but remains on IR.
As for the good news, linebacker Nakobe Dean is back from his hamstring injury, as he missed the last two games. Other star players returning from injury include tight end Dallas Goedert (knee), edge rusher Jaelan Phillips (ankle), and defensive tackle Jalen Carter (hip).
The status of Lane Johnson is up in the air
Despite all the talk this week about whether Johnson will play, the final word is that he is going to play. The injury report certainly doesn't give Eagles fans all that confidence in that notion.
Johnson hasn't played since the Detroit Lions game and practiced for the very first time since the injury this week. He was only limited throughout the week at practice, which is both good and bad news for the Eagles.
There is comfort in knowing that Dean and Carter will be on the field for the defense. Dean's hamstring was more of a concern given his history of lower-leg injuries, but it appears to be good to go for the playoffs.

Eagles fans will have to wait a little longer to know whether their star right tackle will play, but at least it's better than the last two months.
