Overview
- The Eagles opened 21-day practice windows on Wednesday for Landon Dickerson, Jakorian Bennett, Grant Calcaterra and Eli Stowers, and signed defensive back Dean Clark to the practice squad.
- Dickerson is eligible to resume practice but head coach Nick Sirianni gave a noncommittal update and the team has not said whether it will activate him for the coming game.
- Philadelphia’s interior line situation has worsened after the retirement of Lane Johnson and the trade of Cam Jurgens, making any Dickerson decision more consequential for pass protection and the run game.
- Dickerson missed four games with a right-knee bone bruise after playing through injury in Week 1 and drew criticism for poor performance that game; he is under a four-year, $84 million extension and trade proposals are unconfirmed speculation.
- Over the next three weeks the team will use practice reps and medical checks to choose whether to add Dickerson to the 53-man roster or keep him on IR, a decision that will shape offensive-line depth, tight-end elevations and short-term planning for Jalen Hurts’ protection.
