DECEMBER 8: Landon Dickerson #69 and Saquon Barkley #26 of the Philadelphia Eagles look on against the Carolina Panthers at Lincoln Financial Field on December 8, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Overview

  • Following an MRI scheduled for Monday, ESPN sources indicate Dickerson likely has a right-knee meniscus injury.
  • The team is consulting additional specialists to determine the best treatment path, weighing a quick meniscectomy against a longer meniscus repair.
  • His recent left-knee surgery and prior collegiate ACL tears complicate both diagnosis and projected recovery.
  • Backup linemen such as Brett Toth, Matt Pryor and Tyler Steen have been earmarked to take over at left guard in the interim.
  • Coaches will test new lineups during this week’s joint practices with the Cleveland Browns before the preseason opener.
