Philadelphia Eagles three-time Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson will undergo a “minor procedure” on the meniscus in his right knee, several reports said Monday.
Dickerson will be considered week to week and could be back in time for the Sept. 4 season opener against the visiting Dallas Cowboys.
ESPN reported earlier in the day that Dickerson would have an MRI on the knee after suffering an injury during practice Sunday night.
Dickerson, 26, went down while blocking on a pass play and remained on the field for several minutes during Sunday’s open practice.
A second-round pick in 2021, Dickerson has started 62 of 63 regular-season games played for the Eagles. He also has started nine playoff games, including all four last season as Philadelphia won Super Bowl LIX.
He has established himself as an elite interior offensive lineman and collected Pro Bowl accolades each of the last three years. He earned a 79.2 overall Pro Football Focus grade last season, ranking 13th among 136 qualifying guards.
Philadelphia’s initial depth chart listed fourth-year pro Kenyon Green — acquired in March as part of the trade that sent safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Houston Texans — as Dickerson’s backup.
The Eagles continue the preseason Saturday at home against the Cleveland Browns.
