Injury Update on Crucial Eagles Player Revealed Through Operation
Philadelphia Eagles' Landon Dickerson Targets Week 1 Return After Minor Knee Surgery
Philadelphia Eagles' lineman Landon Dickerson underwent a minor surgical procedure on August 13, 2025, to repair a meniscus injury in his right knee [2][4]. The surgery, while necessary, did not result in a major knee injury, providing a glimmer of hope for the team's offensive line and Dickerson's recovery.
Dickerson, who has been a key contributor to the Eagles' offensive line since becoming a full-time starter, was assisted off the field and later carted away from Lincoln Financial Field during a practice session [1]. The diagnosis revealed that Dickerson is dealing with a "meniscus injury" [3].
The Eagles are keeping a close eye on Dickerson's progress, with the team's hope and goal that he will be ready to play for the Week 1 game on September 4, 2025, against the Dallas Cowboys [1][3][4]. While no exact return date beyond that is set, the outlook is cautiously optimistic for an early season return given the minor nature of the procedure [2].
Landon Dickerson, drafted as the 37th overall pick in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, has been a consistent performer for the Eagles. In his rookie season, he appeared in 14 games, starting all but one of those matchups [5]. Since then, he has earned Pro Bowl honours in three out of his four seasons with the team [6].
The Eagles are working on a potential Super Bowl repeat, and Dickerson's return will undoubtedly provide a significant boost to their offensive line. The unit, which helped the Eagles establish the best run game with Saquon Barkley in 2024 [7], will need all the help they can get up front.
Dickerson's absence will be felt, but the Eagles remain hopeful for a Week 1 return for their star lineman. The team will continue to monitor his progress closely and provide updates as they become available.
