"As far as I know I'm playing left [tackle]," Johnson said via NJ.com. "I feel a lot more comfortable this week. Rather than only going off three days of practice. I'm only going to get better and better. I'm excited."
Johnson had an impressive debut as the starting left-tackle last week against the Dallas Cowboys, as the Eagles racked up 172 rushing yards and allowed just one sack.
Peters, 33, was limited in practice on Thursday, while safety Jerome Couplin and guard Josh Andrews were the only other players that did not practice in full.
