Eagles List Landon Dickerson Questionable After Full Saturday Practice

A final inactive-list ruling will determine whether his return improves protection for Tanner McKee with several top receivers out.

Overview

  • The Eagles put left guard Landon Dickerson on the questionable list after he finished the week by fully practicing on Saturday despite being listed with knee and pectoral issues.
  • Team reports show Dickerson was limited earlier in the week and was dinged in the pectoral during Thursday practice as first reported by Jeff McLane, leaving his availability uncertain until the inactive list is released.
  • Philadelphia is operating without starters DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, which raises the stakes for the offensive line to generate better run lanes and protect Tanner McKee.
  • Tanner McKee took three sacks and completed 26 of 45 passes for 215 yards and a touchdown in the team’s previous game, highlighting why a healthy, experienced interior line is important.
  • If Dickerson cannot play the Eagles have multiple interior alternatives — Willie Lampkin, Drew Kendall, Fred Johnson, and Tyler Steen all finished Saturday as full participants — and his possible return would add the experience of a player who started 15 games last season.
