Dickerson injury disrupts Eagles training camp

Landon Dickerson’s injury changed the mood and potential lineup shifts at Philadelphia’s practice.

Dickerson Injury Disrupts Eagles Training Camp Day 12

Day 12 of the Eagles training camp unfolded at Lincoln Financial Field with the usual fan energy, but the mood shifted after several injuries. Wide receiver Elijah Cooks, guard Kenyon Green, long snapper Charley Hughlett, running back Montrell Johnson, and defensive lineman Byron Young did not practice. Zack Baun and A. J. Brown were limited, with Brown back in limited team activity after not participating in drills.

Landon Dickerson went down late in the session and did not immediately return to his feet. He was helped to the sideline and later carted inside, casting a shadow over the day. If he misses time, the expected move would see Tyler Steen slide from right guard to left guard, with Matt Pryor stepping in at right guard. Jakorian Bennett earned first-team reps early and covered DeVonta Smith on a few plays, signaling growing trust in the depth at cornerback.

Quinyon Mitchell stood out with a pass breakup on a back shoulder throw to Smith followed by an active stop on a slant. Smith still found success on a wheel route for a 25-yard TD, showing the connection with Jalen Hurts remains potential and precise. Moro Ojomo remained disruptive, beating Dickerson for a sack and adding a batted pass while drawing double teams and making plays in the run game. Jeremiah Trotter and Jihaad Campbell notched sacks on blitzes, showing an aggressive linebacker corps that can pressure when needed.

The offense saw some positives too as Jahan Dotson made a toe-tap catch near the sideline, and Sydney Brown delivered a solid pass breakup in the end zone. Kylen Granson and E. J. Jenkins were active, though Bryant and Mukuba had less consistent results on a couple of plays in the red zone. Taylor Morin continued to flash with several touchdown grabs, reinforcing the Eagles’ wide receiver depth on the fringe of the roster.

We wait for updates on Dickerson as the team evaluates its interior line options and the next steps for the veteran guard.

The day underscored how quickly a camp narrative can tilt when a starter goes down. If Dickerson misses time, the Eagles will lean on their internal options, testing Steen at left guard and Pryor at right guard. That shift could ripple through the run game and protection calls, especially with a line already facing questions about consistency. Yet the day also highlighted depth and competition, with Bennett and Mitchell delivering tangible proof that the defense can rotate players without losing momentum. The mix of young pass rushers and aggressive linebackers points to a defense that thrives on pressure, even when the offense is at full strength. In short, this camp is about building resilience and finding compatible pieces ahead of the season.

Updates on Dickerson will determine how quickly the line unit adapts to the setback.
