Eagles' Landon Dickerson Trending Toward Playing Thursday vs Cowboys

Landon Dickerson, the Eagles' star left guard, is progressing in his recovery from right knee meniscus surgery and is trending toward playing in the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. Although he missed much of training camp and was a non-participant in some practice sessions, Dickerson has been taking individual and special teams reps and was described as "working really hard" by Eagles coach Nick Sirianni. Veteran Brett Toth has been filling in for Dickerson during his absence, but the likelihood of Dickerson starting Thursday night is increasing as he continues to participate in practice drills. Rookie safety Andrrew Mukuba has also returned to full participation after a hamstring injury, while quarterback Tanner McKee remains a limited participant, with Sam Howell as backup. Overall, the Eagles are cautiously optimistic about Dickerson's availability, with updates expected from the team's injury reports later in the week.
