PHILADELPHIA — Eagles offensive guard Landon Dickerson has not played in the second half against the Pittsburgh Steelers and has been ruled questionable to return with a knee injury. Dickerson has been exercising on the sidelines, including doing some squats and riding the bike. He has been standing without a helmet, which is a sign he might not return.
BUY EAGLES TICKETS: STUBHUB , VIVID SEATS , TICKETMASTER Second-year offensive guard Tyler Steen has replaced Dickerson. On the Eagles’ first drive of the second half, Steen was called for a 15-yard penalty after he made contact with Steelers defensive tackle Cameron Heyward’s helmet. Heyward could cause Steen more problems.
Dickerson has started all 13 games this season and has only missed four career games. During his college career, he suffered two ACL tears and suffered injuries to both ankles, one of which required a tightrope surgery. He has only suffered minor injuries during his NFL career.
The Eagles drafted Steen in the third round of the 2023 draft. After being a backup during his rookie season, Steen was expected to win a starting job this past summer, but he got hurt during training camp and lost the competition to Mekhi Becton . Steen started in the Eagles’ Week 7 win over the Bengals and has filled in against the Saints.
The Eagles’ offensive line could struggle without Dickerson, who is considered one of the NFL’s best guards.
