Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Monday that the Eagles will place three-time Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson on injured reserve after he struggled in the Week 1 win over Washington.
- NFL rules require a minimum absence of four games for players placed on injured reserve with a return designation, meaning Dickerson will miss the next stretch of games including road trips to Tennessee and Chicago.
- Dickerson told local radio he “played like s—” in Week 1, said he was “a complete liability,” and that imaging after being rolled up in practice showed the best path was to shut him down to recover.
- The Eagles are expected to lean on Drew Kendall as the primary internal replacement while Willie Lampkin and possible shifts involving Cam Jurgens are also under consideration.
- Dickerson’s new injury joins a recent history of lower-body problems, offseason treatments and a contract restructuring that together raise questions about his durability and the team’s long-term interior-line planning.
