Philadelphia Eagles three-time Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson is thought to have sustained a meniscus injury to his right knee during Sunday night's practice, ESPN reported on Monday.
ESPN reported earlier in the day that Dickerson would need an MRI on the knee. The new report said he is seeking additional options to determine treatment and a timetable for his return.
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. They open the regular season against the visiting Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 4.
