Eagles update on Dickerson injury

An injury update shows Landon Dickerson will undergo a minor knee procedure and be week to week ahead of the season opener

Eagles dodge season-long setback for Landon Dickerson knee injury

Landon Dickerson, the Philadelphia Eagles' left guard and three-time Pro Bowler, will undergo a minor procedure to treat a torn meniscus in his right knee. NFL insiders Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport said he is week to week with a goal of playing in the September 4 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. The update means the worst fear of a season-long absence is avoided and the team can plan around a gradual return.

If Dickerson is not ready for Week 1, the Eagles could lean on depth. Brett Toth has taken first-team left guard reps during camp, while Matt Pryor could slide into left guard or move to right guard to free Tyler Steen. The Eagles will reassess as training camp continues and determine how to balance short-term need with long-term health for their line.

This update shows how a single position can shape a team’s early plans. The Eagles built depth around the left guard spot, and the current approach highlights the value of versatility on the line. The mix of Toth and Pryor suggests the staff is prepared to adjust without erasing the core identity of their run game and protection schemes.

Keeping Dickerson week to week signals a cautious mindset. It tests the coaching staff’s ability to preserve long-term health while maintaining competitive pressure in early games. As the season approaches, how the line stabilizes behind him will influence both the offense’s rhythm and the team’s accountability for depth.
