Lane Johnson is a football player who protects the quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles.

He is 36 years old, which is old for an NFL player.

He told reporters that the next season will probably be his last one.

He decided this because he needs to take care of his family, especially his parents.

He missed a few practices this week for personal reasons, but he came back to the team.

Johnson has been playing for the Eagles since 2013.

He has been to six Pro Bowls and won two Super Bowls with the team.

He also took time off in 2021 to focus on his mental health.

Johnson says he still feels good and wants to have a really strong final season.
