On September 4, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson has been removed from the Philadelphia Eagles’ injury report. He’s now expected to start Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys. The announcement comes after Dickerson returned to full practice on Tuesday, the Eagles’ final session before the season opener.

“We only list the things on the injury report that would limit them in practice.”
According to the team’s official website, Dickerson missed Monday’s workout due to a back issue unrelated to the knee injury he sustained during training camp.
Philadelphia listed only one player as not practicing on Tuesday – QB Tanner McKee, who’s dealing with a right thumb injury. DT Jalen Carter (shoulder), safety Andrew Mukuba (hamstring), and OLB Joshua Uche (groin) all logged full sessions.
Dallas, though, maintained its Tuesday injury list with no changes. The focus shifts to CB Trevon Diggs and LT Tyler Guyton, whose availability remains uncertain. Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer said both are “trending in the right direction” but will consult medical staff before setting snap counts.
