www.nbcsports.comI don’t have live tool access right now, but I can share what the latest available public reports indicate about Fred Johnson.
Direct answer:
- As of the latest publicly reported updates in early 2026, Fred Johnson has been an active player with the Philadelphia Eagles, primarily serving as a swing tackle/backup at right tackle during the 2025 season, and there were reports about him re-signing and continuing in a depth role for 2026. However, exact current status can vary by week and contract moves, so I’d recommend checking the most recent team announcements or reputable NFL outlets for the very latest.
Background and context:
- Fred Johnson has been noted in multiple outlets as a valuable swing tackle for the Eagles, with several reports highlighting his role when starting tackles were injured or resting. These sources describe him as a versatile lineman who contributed across 2024–2025 campaigns, including playoff appearances, and who remained in Philadelphia through at least the 2025 season per several team-focused reports. For example, outlets covering the Eagles and NFL rosters have described him as a dependable depth option and a candidate to retain responsibilities at right tackle when starters were unavailable.
