Philadelphia Eagles guard Landon Dickerson was carted off the field Sunday after suffering a right leg injury during the team’s open practice at Lincoln Financial Field.
The three-time Pro Bowler went down awkwardly on a pass play late in practice and remained on the turf for several minutes. Trainers attended to him before helping him to his feet, but Dickerson was unable to put significant weight on his leg and was taken to the locker room via cart.
Further specifics on the injury have not been announced. Dickerson was not listed on the Eagles’ injury report earlier in the day but had been limited the day before due to a knee issue.
Drafted 37th overall out of Alabama in 2021, Dickerson has been a cornerstone of Philadelphia’s offensive line since his rookie year. He signed a four-year, $84 million extension last season and has helped power one of the league’s most dominant run games. Behind Dickerson and his linemates, Saquon Barkley rushed for an NFL-best 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns last season as the Eagles captured Super Bowl 59 over the Kansas City Chiefs.
If the injury sidelines Dickerson for an extended period, it would be a significant blow to Philadelphia’s front line. The Eagles open the regular season September 4 against the Dallas Cowboys.
