Eagles Place Guard Landon Dickerson on Injured Reserve With Knee Injury
Philadelphia's Pro Bowl left guard will miss at least four games after playing through pain in the season opener, per a source.
The Philadelphia Eagles are placing left guard Landon Dickerson on injured reserve because of a knee injury, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday.
The move means Dickerson will be sidelined for a minimum of four games under NFL injured reserve rules.
According to the report, Dickerson had described himself as a "complete liability" while playing through the injury during the Eagles' season opener.
Dickerson, a Pro Bowl offensive lineman, has been a key part of Philadelphia's offensive line in recent seasons. Details on the exact nature and severity of the knee injury were not immediately disclosed.
The Eagles have not yet announced who will replace Dickerson at left guard during his absence.
ESPN has not published additional comment from the team or Dickerson beyond the source's account of his remarks about playing through pain in the opener.
