Eagles' Landon Dickerson to Undergo Thumb Surgery, Miss Giants Game

Despite injury setbacks, Eagles not placing Dickerson on injured reserve; Sirianni makes defensive leadership changes.

Philadelphia Eagles' Pro Bowl offensive guard Landon Dickerson is set to undergo thumb surgery and will miss the upcoming game against the New York Giants.
Dickerson will not be placed on injured reserve, meaning he could return at any time between now and the start of the postseason.
The Eagles' offensive line, already dealing with the absence of right guard Cam Jurgens due to a pectoral injury, will likely rely on Sua Opeta and Tyler Steen at the guard positions.
In a surprising move, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni benched Sean Desai and promoted Matt Patricia to defensive coordinator and play-caller.
Despite a loss in Patricia's debut as the Eagles' play-caller, Sirianni confirmed that all final decisions on the defense are now made by Patricia.
