Eagles' Pro Bowl Landon Dickerson Suffers Meniscus Injury During Practice

Philadelphia Eagles star left guard Landon Dickerson suffered a meniscus injury to his right knee during a recent open practice, raising concerns about his availability for the start of the 2025 NFL season. While the injury is not an ACL or Achilles tear, the severity remains uncertain, with potential outcomes ranging from a minor procedure and week-to-week recovery to a full meniscus repair that could sideline him for the entire season. Dickerson, a three-time Pro Bowler and key part of the Eagles' highly regarded offensive line, was carted off the field due to his inability to bear weight on the leg, prompting the team to seek additional medical opinions on the next steps. The Eagles face a challenging early schedule, making Dickerson's health critical for their hopes to defend their Super Bowl 59 title. The team has internal options to fill his spot, including guard Tyler Steen, who has experience playing both guard positions, and veteran Matt Pryor, but none match Dickerson's caliber. The Eagles must finalize their roster by August 26, with decisions on injured reserve designations potentially influencing Dickerson's season status.
