A down year led to Jeff Stoutland's departure. The Eagles' offensive line suffered multiple injuries in 2025. Landon Dickerson was excellent in 2024 but finished the 2025 regular season with a 60.3 PFF pass-blocking grade, which ranked only 51st among 81 qualifying guards. Jordan Mailata didn't replicate his elite 2024 campaign, but he was still Philadelphia 's best offensive lineman. His 83.8 PFF overall grade ranked seventh among all offensive tackles. Johnson's value is clear: the Eagles were 8-2 with him in the lineup this season, versus 3-4 without him . During his tenure in Philadelphia, the team's record is 94-41-1 when he plays and 15-27 when he doesn't.
