Lane Johnson explains how much his ankle injury affected him mentally last year

“But, this year is totally different. I feel good,” Johnson admitted.

As the Eagles are getting into the grind of training camp, Lane Johnson spoke to reporters ahead of the team’s second on-field practice. The offensive tackle admitted he’s in a much better place mentally and physically this year coming into camp, and opened up about his ankle injury and recovery and how difficult it was.

“I was at the point, I don’t know if I could play anymore because I couldn’t push off my left foot, and you’ll see from the tape the beginning of last year, I couldn’t really run-block the way I’m used to — where I’m used to playing.
