Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson reportedly sustained a meniscus injury during Sunday’s practice. Dickerson needed to be carted off the field during practice with what the team deemed a right leg injury.
After being examined, it appears Dickerson injured his meniscus, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Dickerson will reportedly seek other options, and it’s unclear how much time he’ll miss due to the issue.

Dickerson fell to the ground awkwardly following a pass play near the end of Sunday’s practice. He remained down on the field for some time before being helped to the cart. Dickerson did not appear to be capable of putting a ton of weight on his leg as he made his way to the cart.
The 26-year-old is one of the key cogs in Philadelphia’s excellent offensive line. After being selected by the team in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Dickerson started 13 games as a rookie. He became a full-time starter with the team the following year, making his first Pro Bowl appearance.
Dickerson also made the Pro Bowl in both 2023 and 2024, marking three straight seasons in which he’s received the honor. He appeared in all four of the Eagles’ playoff games last season, protecting Jalen Hurts and opening holes for Saquon Barkley en route to the team’s first Super Bowl win since the 2017 season.

Following the 2024 NFL season, Dickerson signed a four-year, $84 million extension that will keep him in Philadelphia through 2028. At the time, it was the biggest contract ever given to an NFL guard.
