Philadelphia Eagles three-time Pro Bowl starting left guard suffered a leg injury during the team’s one and only practice open to fans at Lincoln Financial Field this summer.
The injury occurred towards the end of the session that went over two hours, which is longer than the typical Nick Sirianni era practice.
Dickerson was down on the ground for some time with the rest of his teammates watching him while down on knee. That is, except for Jordan Mailata, who looked stressed as the left tackle paced nearby.
Dickerson eventually got up and walked off the field with the help of a trainer and Big Dom. He struggled to put weight on his leg and was evaluated on the sideline before being carted off to the locker room.
Dickerson had actually been removed from the Eagles’ training camp injury report that was issued earlier during Sunday night’s practice. He was limited on Saturday’s practice due to a knee injury.
Brett Toth has been repping at first-team left guard when Dickerson has missed time. The Eagles did not have their first-team offense take any reps after Dickerson’s injury, so, we’ll see if that continues to be the plan there.
The Eagles arguably boast the NFL’s best offensive line when healthy. Their strength in the trenches was imperative to their Super Bowl success.
The team will hope that this injury scare doesn’t turn out to be serious. But it’s fair to be concerned at the moment.
Stay tuned for more updates.
