Eagles lose three-time Pro Bowler Landon Dickerson in major offensive line blow
Philadelphia’s offensive line takes an early-season hit as three-time Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson heads to injured reserve with a knee injury and delivers a harsh assessment of his Week 1 performance.
The Philadelphia Eagles are set to lose a key offensive lineman for the next month due to an injury to three-time Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson. Dickerson, who suffered a right knee injury during practice, is expected to be placed on injured reserve for at least four games. He admitted that his recent performance was subpar and that he should not have played while not at 100 percent.
The injury, which is described as a bone bruise, began when a player rolled into his right knee. Rather than risking further damage, the team decided that placing him on injured reserve would be the best course of action. This setback leaves the Eagles with a major offensive line blow, as Dickerson has been an important part of their team.
Young lineman Drew Kendall may have the opportunity to step in while Dickerson recovers. The Eagles will now have to navigate the next four games without Dickerson protecting the interior of their offensive line.
