The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired offensive tackle Fred Johnson from the Jacksonville Jaguars in a trade Sunday, a league source said.

The Eagles are trading a 2026 seventh-round draft pick to the Jags in exchange for Johnson, 28, who played for the Eagles from 2022 to 2024. ESPN first reported the trade.

Johnson is expected to provide depth to the Eagles offense, which is dealing with injuries to left tackle Jordan Mailata (concussion) and left guard Landon Dickerson (knee). Johnson started six games for the Eagles last season.

The Eagles on Sunday also traded offensive tackle Darian Kinnard to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for a sixth-round pick in 2027, ESPN reports.

The Eagles also recently acquired Sam Howell, a quarterback, from the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick and 2027 seventh-rounder. The Eagles are also getting a 2027 sixth-round pick in that deal.
