What happened: Johnson described retirement as probable rather than final. Johnson also returned from a weeklong absence Saturday.
Why it matters: The timeline puts long-term planning at right tackle on the clock. A departure after 2026 would leave the final season of his contract unplayed.
By the numbers: Johnson is entering his 14th NFL season. His contract runs through 2027.
What to watch: Watch for a firm decision after the 2026 season and any succession planning at right tackle.
