Eagles Guard Landon Dickerson to Undergo Minor Knee Surgery, Could Return for Week 1

Key Takeaways

• Eagles Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson suffered a meniscus injury in his right knee during Sunday's open practice
• Will undergo a "minor procedure" in the coming days and is considered week-to-week
• The team remains optimistic he could return for the September 4 season opener against Dallas
• Injury avoided worst-case scenario of a season-ending ACL tear

Philadelphia Eagles three-time Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson avoided a potentially devastating injury after being carted off the field during Sunday's open practice at Lincoln Financial Field. Dickerson suffered a meniscus injury in his right knee that will require surgery, but he is considered week-to-week and could be available for the Sept. 4 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.

Dickerson will have a "minor procedure" done on his right knee to address the meniscus injury in the next few days, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The injury occurred during the final team drill sessions of the night when Dickerson went down on a pass play. He was helped off the field and struggled to put weight on his right leg as he walked slowly to the sideline before being carted inside.

The 26-year-old guard is a cornerstone of Philadelphia's offensive line, having earned Pro Bowl honors in each of the last three seasons. He appeared in all four of the Eagles' playoff games last season, protecting Jalen Hurts and opening holes for Saquon Barkley en route to the team's first Super Bowl win since the 2017 season. With backup Kenyon Green also dealing with a shoulder injury, the Eagles will likely turn to veteran Brett Toth or consider moving Tyler Steen to accommodate Matt Pryor at right guard during Dickerson's absence.
