Practice incident: Pro Bowl Eagles lineman Landon Dickerson is taken off the field on a stretcher, due to a leg injury.
Landon Dickerson, the Philadelphia Eagles' Pro Bowl offensive guard, sustained a meniscus injury to his right knee during practice on August 10, 2025. The team is optimistic about a relatively quick recovery, with the goal of having him ready for the Eagles' Week 1 game on September 4, 2025.
The Injury Incident
Dickerson went down on a pass play during Sunday night's practice and had to be carted off the field due to his inability to put weight on his right leg. The injury was initially feared to be more severe, but the procedure is described as "minor."
Recovery Timeline and Current Status
While sidelined, other players such as Tyler Steen, Brett Toth, Kenyon Green, and Matt Pryor are stepping in for guard duties. Dickerson is currently being monitored on a week-to-week basis to assess his actual readiness for the upcoming season.
Dickerson's NFL Career
A second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Dickerson quickly established himself as an elite interior offensive lineman. He has started 62 of 63 games played for the Eagles in his four-year NFL career, earning a 79.2 overall PFF grade last season. In 2021, he ranked 13th among 136 qualifying guards with his PFF grade.
Dickerson is a three-time Pro Bowl selection, demonstrating his consistent performance and impact on the Eagles' offense. Despite the current injury setback, the team remains hopeful that he will return to form in time for the regular season opener.
