Philadelphia Eagles guard Landon Dickerson suffered a meniscus injury to his right knee, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Dickerson was carted off towards the end of the Eagles’ open practice Sunday night.
“Eagles Pro-Bowl guard Landon Dickerson is thought to have suffered a meniscus injury to his right knee, per sources,” Schefter wrote on Twitter/X. “Dickerson is getting additional options to determine the next course of action and how long he might be sidelined.”
After Dickerson went down, the crowd of around 50,000 went silent. Dickerson was helped off the field and rode the cart to the locker room.
Dickerson has become one of the top guards in the NFL after the Eagles selected him in the second round of the 2021 draft. In his four seasons, the former Alabama star has been named to the Pro Bowl three times and helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl last year.
In March of 2024, Dickerson signed a four-year, $84 million contract extension with the Eagles, making him the highest-paid guard in NFL history at the time. “It just shows a lot of respect, how much trust they have in me to continue to grow as a player, develop and do good things for this team and this City,” Dickerson said at his press conference after signing the contract, per the Eagles’ official website.
“Going into my fourth year now, I think that I can absolutely step up and have more of that leadership role. The extension really shows the respect and the potential that the coaches and Howie (Roseman) think that I have as a player. That only makes me want to continually try to get better, keep improving on my game day after day.”
Not having Dickerson in the starting lineup when the season begins next month would be a big blow to the Eagles’ offense. A big reason Philadelphia won a championship last season is the offensive line that also includes All-Pro Jordan Mailata, Pro Bowl selection Cam Jurgens and future Hall of Famer Lane Johnson. The Eagles’ offensive line helped the team set the NFL single-season record with 3,866 rushing yards in the regular season and playoffs combined in 2024.
