Right here’s a extra concrete Landon Dickerson damage replace following the obscure one from earlier on Monday: the Philadelphia Eagles’ three-time Professional Bowl left guard can have “a minor process” on the torn meniscus in his proper knee that may have him “week-to-week” with the aim of with the ability to play towards the Dallas Cowboys within the common season opener on September 4.
Even when Dickerson isn’t able to play in Week 1, it seems like he’ll keep away from occurring short-term injured reserve. He would’ve been ineligible to play within the Eagles’ first 4 video games in that case.
It stays to be seen to what extent, if any, that Dickerson shall be hampered by his knee damage when he does get again on the sphere. However a lower than 100% Dickerson nonetheless beats the choice.
Talking of, it’s not but clear how the Eagles will deal with Dickerson’s absence within the weeks main as much as the common season. Brett Toth has taken first-team left guard when Dickerson’s been resting throughout coaching camp. But it surely’s additionally doable that the Eagles might work Matt Pryor into the combo, both by taking part in him on the left facet or transferring Tyler Steen and placing Pryor in at proper guard. We’ll see when the Eagles return to coaching camp on Tuesday morning.
For now, the Eagles can a minimum of be comfortable that the worst case state of affairs for Dickerson was prevented.
