Diagnosis Scheduled: Landon Dickerson of the Eagles to Undergo Knee MRI
Philadelphia Eagles' Pro Bowl Guard Landon Dickerson Sustains Meniscus Injury
In a concerning development for the Philadelphia Eagles, Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson suffered a meniscus injury in his right knee during an open practice on August 10, 2025. The injury will necessitate minor surgery and is being considered week-to-week, with the potential for Dickerson to return for the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on September 4, 2025 [1][4].
Dickerson was involved in a play block when the injury occurred. He remained on the field for several minutes before being carted off and requiring assistance to leave. Fortunately, the injury does not appear to be as severe as an ACL or Achilles tear, according to reports [1][2].
The Eagles have been preparing backup players such as Brett Toth, Kenyon Green, and Matt Pryor to fill in should Dickerson be unavailable [1].
Dickerson, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, has established himself as an elite interior offensive lineman. He has started 62 of 63 regular-season games played for the Eagles, including all four playoff games last season as the team won Super Bowl LIX [1][4]. In the 2024 season, he earned a 79.2 overall Pro Football Focus grade, ranking 13th among 136 qualifying guards [3].
The Eagles will play their next preseason game at home against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday.
