Dickerson To Undergo MRI

Philadelphia Eagles’ left guard Landon Dickerson suffered an injury during one of the final practice series on Sunday night. The exact cause of the injury at the time was not known; however, Dickerson was unable to stand up on his own and couldn’t put any weight on his leg.

The Eagles’ training staff helped him walk off the field and then took him back to the locker room on a cart for further evaluation. Current reports indicate that the injury is not as severe as it was thought to be at the time.

As per the latest update, ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter has reported that Dickerson is thought to have suffered a meniscus injury to his right knee. It is also being reported that the 26-year-old will undergo a minor meniscus surgery and that he will be considered week-to-week following the surgery.

It’s not a sure thing that Landon Dickerson will be ready for Week 1 vs the #Cowboys, but that’s the hope.

Given his history of multiple knee procedures, the #Eagles won’t rush to get him back on the field. They’ll play this smart. https://t.co/TOOWClFoZd

The goal for the Eagles and Dickerson will be to have him completely healthy and ready to go for week 1 of the regular season. The defending champions kick off the 2025 NFL season with a fascinating divisional rivalry matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, September 4.

Should Dickerson fail to recover in time for the Eagles’ week 1 encounter against the Cowboys, Philadelphia’s roster depth means the next man up at left guard could be either Kenyon Green, Matt Pryor, or Trevor Keegan.

Overall roster health as well as depth will be a key factor for the Eagles as Philadelphia looks to run it back this year. Dickerson has been one of the crucial pieces to the Eagles’ strong O-line over the past few seasons, and having him back in the starting lineup will make a huge difference for the team.
