A familiar face is returning to Philadelphia.

The Eagles have acquired offensive tackle Fred Johnson from the Jacksonville Jaguars, a person with knowledge of the trade confirmed to NJ Advance Media. ESPN’s Adam Schefter broke the news on Sunday night.

Johnson, who spent the last two seasons (2023-2024) with Philadelphia, signed a one-year deal with Jacksonville in free agency. He started six games last year, making five appearances on the left side and one on the right side.

According to Schefter, the Eagles sent a 2026 seventh-round pick to Jacksonville to get their old swing tackle back.

The Eagles’ offensive line depth looked shaky during training camp. General manager Howie Roseman did not successfully replace Johnson, so backup left tackle became a huge issue.
