Johnson re-signed with the Eagles on two-year deal Thursday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Johnson was surprisingly cut by the Eagles on Wednesday shortly after getting promoted to seccond-team left tackle for the team's preseason finale against the Colts. However, it looks like the brief release was simply to work out a new deal for the fifth-year tackle. He has gone from being on the roster bubble to seemingly having ensured himself a spot on the team's 53-man roster.
