Philadelphia Eagles two-time Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson (knee) left the team's Week 15 win over the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday with a knee injury and was replaced by Tyler Steen, who acquitted himself well in the victory despite a few penalties. The second-year offensive tackle could be forced into starting duties in Week 16 against the division-rival Washington Commanders after losing the starting right guard spot to Mekhi Becton in training camp. The 26-year-old Dickerson's status will be one to watch leading up to next week's big divisional battle with the Eagles offense relying a lot on their stout offensive line. Dickerson was hurt on the first drive of the second half against Pittsburgh and was listed as questionable to return initially.
Landon Dickerson Signs Four-Year Extension With Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles and Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson agreed to a four-year, $84 million contract extension, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal makes the 25-year-old the highest-paid guard in terms of average base salary ($21 million) after making two Pro Bowls in his first three seasons in the NFL. The loss of future Hall-of-Fame center Jason Kelce will be tough to deal with, but locking up Dickerson long-term will help Philly's chances to continue being dominant up front. He'll now block for star running back Saquon Barkley in 2024.
Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Landon Dickerson (thumb) is set to undergo thumb surgery that will hold him out of the Week 16 contest against the New York Giants. According to Tim McManus of ESPN, he will definitely miss that game, but then he'll be evaluated heading into Week 17. The 25-year-old guard earned a Pro Bowl nod last season and with fellow guard Cam Jurgens (pec) also dealing with a pectoral injury, this is a worrisome development late in the season. It doesn't sound like Dickerson's injury will hold him out long-term, but setbacks can and do happen.
Landon Dickerson Is Questionable To Return With Knee Issue
Philadelphia Eagles guard Landon Dickerson (knee) was forced to leave Monday night's game against Tampa Bay with a knee issue and is considered questionable to return. He's an important piece to the offensive line, as he's been ranked in the top half of all starting guards in the NFL according to PFF. His run blocking has been the best part of his game which has helped D'Andre Swift put together back-to-back 100-yard games. If he has to miss any time, it may effect the run game until he comes back.
Landon Dickerson Should Be Good To Go For Super Bowl
Philadelphia Eagles offensive guard Landon Dickerson (elbow) didn't practice at all this week, but he was removed from the week's final injury report on Friday and should be able to play in the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 12, against the Kansas City Chiefs. Dickerson injured his right elbow in the NFC Championship win over the San Francisco 49ers and was seen wearing a brace after the game. The Eagles were most likely just resting Dickerson all week, so we should see him return to practice at some point next week before playing in next Sunday's big game. The 24-year-old should be able to handle his normal role as the starting left guard, which is great news for Philly's high-flying offense.
Philadelphia Eagles offensive guard Landon Dickerson (elbow) hyperextended his right elbow in the win over the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday's NFC Championship, but an MRI exam on Monday came back negative and he is expected to play in the Super Bowl, according to league sources. Dickerson will likely wear a brace on his elbow during practice and in the big game. The 24-year-old left the game last Sunday in the second half and was seen wearing a brace on his arm after the contest. Even if Dickerson gets the start against the Kansas City Chiefs, there's a chance that Andre Dillard could see more playing time if Dickerson has a setback or struggles in protection.
With the 37th pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles have drafted Alabama center Landon Dickerson. The Eagles had the second-worst adjusted sack rate in the NFL last season, so adding to the line should help keep quarterback Jalen Hurts safe, allowing him to form a connection with first-round wide receiver DeVonta Smith. With how bad this line was, Dickerson should have a chance to contribute early, and it's hard to see his addition being anything but a positive for this line.
