Eagles tackle Lane Johnson has found peace and respect on the right side

Like everyone else in the Eagles locker room, Lane Johnson is continually amazed by Jason Peters.

The Eagles’ 36-year-old left tackle tore an ACL last October, and that would have been an excellent excuse for the nine-time Pro Bowler to ride off into the sunset and let the clock start on the five-year waiting period for his Hall of Fame eligibility.

But retirement never was a consideration for him. He’s been pretty much living at the NovaCare Complex since his surgery last fall, rehabbing his knee and preparing to suit up for his 15th NFL season.

“He’s in the weight room lifting what everybody else is lifting,’’ Johnson said.
