The Philadelphia Eagles lost a key piece of their offense in training camp when starting center Landon Dickerson went down with a knee injury. Now, he has reportedly undergone surgery on Wednesday, August 13th, for the meniscus injury that he suffered.

There is positive news in all of this for the Eagles, though. The injury could have been worse. Dickerson avoided what would be considered a major injury. Because of that, there is hope that he can return to the field sometime early in the season.

For now, no return to action is set in stone. After all, everyone recovers from injuries and surgeries at a different speed. Naturally, the Eagles are also going to be careful to prevent any further injury, but it’s good news for the defending Super Bowl champions overall.

Previously, it was reported that Dickerson would be considered week-to-week with the injury. The surgery was also described as a “minor procedure,” going into it, and there had been some hope that he could even be ready to go in Week 1.

Landon Dickerson was carted off the field from practice on Sunday night. The immediate concern was that he suffered an injury to his right meniscus. This was during an open practice, and it tempered the atmosphere inside the facility while Philadelphia prepped for the season.

Dickerson first came to Philadelphia as a second round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. That came after he had been a star in the college game at Alabama. Since getting to professional football, Dickerson has been named to the Pro Bowl three times and was the starting center on last year’s Super Bowl winning team. He moved to center from guard following the retirement of Jason Kelce, a longtime star in his own right.

Dickerson signed a four-year, $84 million contract extension with the Eagles in March of 2024. At the time, it made him the highest-paid guard in history. It also signaled the time for him to step into a larger leadership role on the offense.

The Philadelphia Eagles are going into the 2025 season looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions. They’ll open that defense on September 4th for their Week 1 game against the Dallas Cowboys, a division rival. Before that, the Eagles do have two more preseason games, neither of which Landon Dickerson is expected to play in at all. Philadelphia won’t have its bye week until Week 9.
