Eagles guard Landon Dickerson carted off with injury at Lincoln Financial Field public practice
Dickerson was injured during team drills and stayed down on the field before being carted off.
Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson was carted off the field Sunday night after suffering an injury near the end of the team’s public practice at Lincoln Financial Field.
Dickerson was injured during 11-on-11 team drills and was down on the field before being helped off. He was slow to get to the sideline and appeared to be favoring his right leg. He then took the passenger seat of a cart and left the field.
Dickerson, a three-time Pro Bowler, was on the Eagles’ injury report for practice Saturday, limited with what the team called a knee injury. He was not on the report Sunday and was a full participant.
Dickerson, 26, has a history of knee injuries, including ACL tears in both knees in college. He also played through a left knee injury in the Super Bowl earlier this year.
The Eagles did not immediately release information about his injury, and the severity of it is unknown.
Jeffrey Lurie has owned the Philadelphia Eagles, which he purchased in 1994, longer than his son, Julian, has been alive. But in recent years, the younger Lurie, heir to the franchise and now 31, has assumed a more pervasive and influential role in the organization. While the Eagles have made no secret about Julian’s increased involvement with the team, specifics about his role have been scant. In recent months, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane spoke to nearly two dozen sources on and off the record to gain a better understanding of not just who Julian Lurie is and what he does, but - most important of all - whether he’ll be ready to assume the reins as Eagles Chairman and CEO, whenever the time comes. Jeff shares the biggest takeaways from his reporting with Inquirer columnist Mike Sielski in this companion episode to Jeff’s feature article about the Eagles' succession plan. Listen here.
