Eagles Clear Landon Dickerson To Play Season Opener Vs Cowboys

The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for their 2025 NFL season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, with anticipation and excitement high among fans following last season's Super Bowl victory. A key development ahead of the game is the return of Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson, who was initially on the injury report due to a back issue but has now been cleared to play, providing a crucial boost to the Eagles' offensive line. Coach Nick Sirianni confirmed Dickerson's status after full participation in practice, while only quarterback Tanner McKee remains sidelined with a thumb injury. The absence of Cowboys' star pass rusher Micah Parsons, recently traded to the Packers, further strengthens the Eagles' position as they defend their title. The game, which kicks off the NFL season at Lincoln Financial Field, will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock, marking the start of NBC’s Sunday Night Football slate. Fans and analysts alike view the Eagles' intact offensive line and overall team health as key factors in their prospects to repeat as champions this season.
