This sucks. Waiting for news. Speculation is a possible Achilles injury or ankle roll. Waiting for word.

Reports are knee. MRI today.

This really sucks...I'm concerned it's something serious because players took a knee...which typically indicates a potential serious injury (players seem to know).

This will be a big blow to our OL. I guess we will have to hope Matt Pryor can fill in good enough. No other IOL on the roster that gives me any confidence...which is kinda odd considering Stoutland U. But, who is there besides Pryor? Keegan seems like a bust. Kendall might be a Center-only...and that's if he's any good at that. Kenyon Green? Not confident there either.

Yeah, I agree with you about Keegan. He's buried on the depth chart, and the guys in front of him aren't that good.

Hopefully, it's not serious, and Dickerson will be fine.

FWIW, Matt Pryor's 2024 PFF ranking is surprisingly good. He started with the Bears and was ranked 10th overall in pass blocking.

Yeah I saw some positives regarding Pryor....but he was part of a bad Bears OL and they let him go. Hopefully he is "good enough" if Dickerson misses extensive time. But do they play him at RG and move Steen to LG or just plug Pryor in at LG?

Howie could look to trade for someone and then there will be cut downs soon so who knows who could become available.

Never liked Pryor, not when he was here the first time, hes a a big slow footed plodder whose best skill is just standing up and having his big body be in the way, hes a speed bump at best.

Hope Dickerson is ok but its not looking good ☹️

I would say Pryor is serviceable at OG but can't play OT as his feet are terrible. Serviceable doesn't really mean as a seventeen game starter but right now he is the next best OG.

Just hoping Dickerson can come back some time this year

Optimistically, I feel like the longer we don't hear anything, the better it is. I don't know, but I just feel like if it were bad, we'd have an update by now.

I could be wrong, of course...

I look at this the other way around. The longer we don't hear the worse it is. The Eagles are figuring out the messaging that this is season ending.

What's there to figure out? Guys go down to season-ending injuries all the time and the message is always "he's out for the season."

Good or bad? Options tells me surgery.

"Good or bad? Options tells me surgery."

Not necessarily. I think options means surgery is an option. Even a slightly torn meniscus can heal on it's own.

4 to 6 weeks with no surgery is probably the best we could hope for.

I think it's good news. As I understand, a meniscus can be healed with surgery in less than 6 weeks. If he doesn't get surgery, it will take longer.

I’ll say this… the news could have been worse! It could have been a straight up tear or ACL right? The fact he’s weighing up the options etc suggests he could maybe be back say late September? But it leaves us with a big problem because RG isn’t exactly secure and a strength.

I think we dodged a bullet. We don't know how many weeks he'll be out, but I seriously doubt it's a season-ending injury.

Wow. That's great news. Even if he misses 2 or 3 weeks, that's still great news.

Best possible news. Hopefully he doesn't miss much time.

Who speculated an achilles?

It was all over X - some thought it was a foregone conclusion

We don’t have a quality back-up at guard like we did last year with Steen because Keegan and Green haven’t worked out so far. In next year’s draft, we should be able to add an offensive lineman or two in rounds 3 or 4 who could be quality back-ups with all the picks we have.
