How will Eagles replace Landon Dickerson during his IR stint?
NBC Sports Philadelphia • • sports
Key Points:
- The Eagles have placed starting left guard Landon Dickerson on Injured Reserve with a knee bone bruise, sidelining him for at least four weeks early in the 2026 season.
- Backup interior offensive linemen Drew Kendall, Willie Lampkin, and Micah Morris, who made the 53-man roster, will be relied upon to fill the void, with Kendall and Lampkin viewed as the top candidates to start.
- Kendall, originally a center at Boston College, has been cross-trained at guard and is considered the easiest replacement option; the Eagles may also shuffle the line by moving Kendall to center and Cam Jurgens to guard.
- Lampkin, an undrafted player who impressed in training camp, is seen as a versatile backup capable of playing center or guard and is highly regarded by teammates.
- Rookie Micah Morris is more developmental and unlikely to start but may be activated for depth as the Eagles prioritize winning over gaining young player experience.
