Summary
- Landon Dickerson played with a knee bone bruise since training camp.
- He practiced fully despite the injury, thus not appearing on the report.
- An MRI after a game revealed the severity of the bone bruise.
Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson had been playing with a bone bruise in his knee since training camp. He consistently practiced fully, which meant his injury did not require an official report. This practice participation continued until the discomfort became a significant issue.
Following a game, Dickerson reported discomfort, prompting an MRI that confirmed the bone bruise. Coach Nick Sirianni highlighted Dickerson's resilience and toughness in playing through the pain. The team is now determining the starting left guard, with Drew Kendall and Cam Jurgens being key options.
Kendall could play either guard or center, while Jurgens might shift to guard. Willie Lampkin is also a candidate for the interior line. Sirianni emphasized the team's strategy of cross-training players to provide flexibility for filling the vacant spot.
