Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson will undergo surgery later this week to repair the torn adductor he’s been playing with for more than a month, ESPN reported Monday.
He put off the procedure so that he could play in the postseason.
Johnson, who first suffered the injury in Week 16, played every offensive snap in Sunday’s Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He played 96 percent and 81 percent of the snaps in Philly’s first two postseason games as well.
Johnson, 32, missed the final two games of the regular season.
Johnson earned his second All-Pro nod and fourth Pro Bowl selection this season.
Johnson has not allowed a sack since Week 11 of the 2020 season.
Including 15 starts this season, he has started 127 regular-season games since Philadelphia drafted him with the No. 4 overall pick in 2013.
