Eagles Star Guard Dickerson Undergoes Knee Surgery, Expected Week 1 Return

Philadelphia Eagles star offensive guard Landon Dickerson suffered a right knee meniscus injury during an open practice and will undergo surgery, but the setback is not expected to be season-ending. He is listed as week-to-week and could be ready to start the 2025 NFL regular season, including the Eagles' season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. Dickerson, a three-time Pro Bowler and key component of the Eagles' offensive line, has a history of knee injuries but has proven resilient, playing through pain last season and earning a significant contract extension. The Eagles have prepared depth options such as Brett Toth, John Michael Schmitz, and Trevor Keegan to step in if needed. The team and fans are relieved the injury is not more serious, as losing Dickerson long-term would have been a major blow to their plans to defend their Super Bowl title. Meanwhile, former Eagle CJ Gardner-Johnson, now with the Houston Texans, also suffered a knee injury but is expected to return this season, providing some positive news for his new team.
