Eagles Get Bad Injury Update on Pro Bowl Lineman Landon Dickerson: Report

Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson of the Philadelphia Eagles faces the difficult task this week of recovering from an injury in roughly three days to prepare for the New York Giants. But Dickerson might need even more than a week to be ready to return to the field.

The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane reported Tuesday morning Dickerson could miss one or two games because of his ankle injury. Dickerson exited Week 5 against the Denver Broncos during the first half.

Dickerson has only missed two games in the past three years combined. During that stretch, he’s made the Pro Bowl three consecutive seasons.

The Eagles will be trying to bounce back Thursday night on the road against the Giants. Philadelphia suffered its first loss of the 2025 regular season Sunday against the Broncos.

Without Dickerson playing much, the Eagles built a 14-point lead. However, the Broncos outgained the Eagles 159-42 in the fourth quarter and came back to win 21-17.

Eagles’ Landon Dickerson Could Miss 1-2 Games: Report

Officially, the Pro Bowl guard didn’t practice Monday, as the Eagles have already turned the page to Thursday Night Football.

Dickerson was one of three players on the Eagles active roster who didn’t practice in any capacity Monday. The other three were running back Saquon Barkley and tight end Grant Calcaterra.

As McLane indicated, Barkley is expected to play Thursday. However, McLane seemed to suggest the tight end, like the guard, probably won’t dress.

The Eagles drafted Dickerson at No. 37 overall in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The 27-year-old became a starter for Philadelphia during Week 3 of his rookie campaign.

Since then, Dickerson has been a reliable force for the Eagles offensive line. The team was ranked in the top 10 of the NFL in points scored and yards during each of Dickerson’s three Pro Bowl seasons.

Furthermore, in two of those three campaigns, the Eagles were ranked inside the top 5 in rushing yards. Last season, Philadelphia’s No. 1 running game led them to a 14-3 record and Super Bowl championship.

Since 2021, Dickerson has played at least 92% of Philadelphia’s offensive snaps during each regular season. Because of his absence in Week 5, Dickerson has played 81% of the offensive snaps for the Eagles in 2025.

Eagles Aiming to Continue Success vs. Giants

With and without Dickerson this season, the Eagles offense has been a disappointment. While Philadelphia is 12th in points scored, the Eagles are ranked 30th in total yards entering Week 6.

But the Giants might be the perfect team for the Eagles to face on a tumultuous short week. Philadelphia has defeated its I-95 rival in seven of the past eight matchups.

Last season, the Eagles swept the Giants, defeating them 28-3 when the two teams met at the Meadowlands.

The Eagles have won two of the past three contests on the road in the rivalry series. In both of those wins, Philadelphia won by 25 points.

New York is projected to start rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart for a third consecutive game. Dart won his first NFL regular season start but lost Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

BREAKING NEWS: Brock Purdy's Heartfelt $1 Million Donation Stuns Football World

In an unprecedented move that has taken the sports community by storm, San Francisco 49ers star Brock Purdy has shocked the world with an incredible act of generosity. Purdy, known for his dominant presence on the field, has made a staggering $1 million donation to Candelaria Rivas Ramos, a remarkable Mexican ethnic minority woman who embarked on a grueling 14-hour journey from her small mountain village to compete in the 2025 Canyon Ultra Marathon.

Ramos, a mother and passionate long-distance runner, had always dreamed of participating in one of the most challenging marathons in the world. But despite her dedication, the road to the Canyon Ultra Marathon was not paved with opportunities. The 14-hour walk from her home in a remote town was a testament to her perseverance and grit, but it also highlighted the struggles faced by many aspiring athletes from underprivileged backgrounds.

In an emotional moment that will forever be etched in the hearts of those who witnessed it, Purdy wrote a heartfelt letter to Ms. Ramos, expressing his admiration for her courage and determination. The letter, filled with sincerity, conveyed not just financial support, but a deep understanding of the hardships she had faced.

In his letter, Purdy wrote: "I’ve seen the way you fight, the way you overcome challenges, and the heart you put into everything you do. I’m not just giving money, I’m giving you a chance to be seen and heard. You inspire me."

The gesture left Ramos overwhelmed with emotion. In a tearful response, she shared her gratitude, saying, "No one has ever treated me like this. This is more than just money; it’s a belief in me, a belief that I can achieve my dreams."

Ramos had been training for years, sacrificing much to pursue her passion for running. Despite financial constraints, she never gave up, believing that the Canyon Ultra Marathon was within her reach. Purdy’s unexpected donation has not only alleviated her financial burdens but has also ignited a sense of hope in her and countless others who dream of overcoming their own challenges.

For many, Purdy’s donation goes beyond just a financial contribution. It’s a statement about the power of sports to unite people from all walks of life, transcending borders, backgrounds, and financial disparities. It’s a reminder that true athletes, whether on the field or in life, understand that the real victories come from lifting others up.

The 49ers fanbase, known for its passionate following, has rallied behind Purdy’s generosity, praising him for his humility and compassion. His donation is a reminder of the positive influence that athletes can have both on and off the field, using their platform for good.
