Landon Dickerson left the team’s open practice with an apparent right leg injury, raising questions about the offensive line's depth.

Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson carted off with leg injury

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson was helped off the field and carted indoors after suffering an apparent right leg injury during the team’s open practice Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field. The injury came late in the two-plus-hour session as Dickerson went to the ground on a pass play with Jalen Hurts delivering to Saquon Barkley on the far side. A crowd of about 50,000 fell silent as his teammates gathered around him and he was carried off the field.

Dickerson, 26, is a key blocker on an offensive line that powered a record-setting run for Barkley in 2024. He appeared on Saturday’s injury report because of a knee issue and was listed as limited; he was not listed on Sunday’s report. He was replaced in the lineup by Brett Toth. The Eagles will now navigate the week with uncertain returns as they assess the line and its rotation ahead of upcoming games.

The injury tests the Eagles' depth on the interior and puts pressure on the coaching staff to adjust quickly. Dickerson has played a central role in protecting the quarterback and paving room for the run game, so his absence could shift responsibilities to the next men up and potentially alter blocking schemes.

If the injury proves long term, Philadelphia may lean on backups more than planned and rework protection calls. The development arrives at a moment when wins and consistency matter, and the team must balance immediate roster decisions with the longer arc of the season.
