Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson will undergo minor knee surgery for a meniscus injury, per multiple reports. He will reportedly be week-to-week after the procedure, with the goal of returning for the regular season.
It’s a best-case scenario for Dickerson, who was carted off of the field during practice on Sunday after injuring his knee. The Eagles were potentially facing a longer absence from the guard depending on the extent of the injury.

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.
