The Eagles are days away from joint practices with the Browns, and they received some good news about Landon Dickerson. Philadelphia's star left guard exited the open stadium practice with a left knee injury that required a Monday MRI.
Adam Schefter reports that Dickerson suffered a meniscus injury, and further testing will determine how much time he'll miss.

A meniscus tear can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to heal, depending on the severity of the tear and the treatment approach.
A minor tear, treated with rest and physical therapy, could heal in 4-8 weeks, costing Dickerson a few games and 3-6 months for complete recovery. A more severe tear for Dickerson could require surgery, and potentially up to 6-9 months for a full return to activities.
Last season, Dickerson tied Brandon Brooks for the most Pro Bowl selections in team history by an offensive guard and was named to the Pro Bowl in three of his first four seasons. Dickerson is one of five guards who have made the Pro Bowl every year since 2022, along with the Browns' Joel Bitonio, the Falcons' Chris Lindstrom, the Colts' Quenton Nelson, and the Bears' Joe Thuney.
Philadelphia has been playing Kenyon Green as the second team left guard in training camp, and could deploy Brett Toth, Matt Pryor, or Trevor Keegan in that spot.

5 storylines to watch during the two joint practice sessions between the Eagles and Browns
With the two joint practice sessions scheduled to start between the Eagles and Browns, we're highlighting five storylines to follow over the two days. The Eagles looked sharp against the Bengals on Thursday night, and after a raucous open training camp practice, the Birds are preparing for an intense two-day joint practice session with the Cleveland Browns. The session will feature teams heading in two different trajectories, as Philadelphia is looking to repeat as Super Bowl champions. At the same time, Cleveland has five quarterbacks under contract, and the shadow of rookie sensation Shedeur Sanders is looming over the franchise. With the two joint practice sessions set to kick off, we're looking at five storylines to watch over the two days. Super Bowl champion returns. Kenny Pickett was traded to the Browns for Dorian Thompson-Robinson, and he'll return ot the NovaCare Complex as a Super Bowl champion, engulfed in an intense quarterback battle. Shedeur Sanders' spotlight will hover over two days and the game. Will quarterback Shedeur Sanders get some reps with the No. 1 offense this week as the Browns hold joint practices with the Philadelphia Eagles? When asked about it, head coach Kevin Stefanski was noncommittal. Both Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel have been dealing with hamstring injuries for at least the last week. Pickett has been limited in practice since Aug. 1 after missing three sessions, while Gabriel has been limited since Aug. 4 when Stefanski first indicated the rookie was dealing with tightness. Sanders was 14-of-23 for 138 yards with two touchdowns and a 106.8 passer rating, and will face the best defense in the NFL over two days. Browns tight end reunites with his college head coach. Cleveland drafted Harold Fannin Jr., and he'll head to Philadelphia, where he'll see his former head coach and Eagles QB coach Scot Loeffler. Fannin comes into his rookie season after a record-setting junior year at Bowling Green. He caught 117 passes for 1,555 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, leading the NCAA in receptions and receiving yards. Kevin Stefanski returns home. The Browns previously traveled to Philadelphia for two days of joint practices in 2023. Stefanski and Eagles coach Nick Sirianni are longtime friends and colleagues. A Philadelphia native and son of former Sixers general manager Ed Stefanski, the Browns head coach was a three-year starter at St. Joe's Prep and an all-Ivy League safety at the University of Penn. Familiar foe This is the third time these two teams have met since Nick Sirianni was hired. The previous two years, the Browns held practices with the Eagles, traveling to Philadelphia in 2023 and hosting the Eagles in 2022 for two practices at CrossCountry Mortgage Campus.

49ers comment on severity of Jauan Jennings' calf injury
San Francisco fans are anxious to get the news that fifth-year pro Jauan Jennings is back working in practice and seriously ramping up his return for the 2025 NFL season. But, 49ers fans will have to wait longer for that bit of good news. And until he's back suited up and catching the football, there will be a faction of the fan base that wonders if there's more to the story. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked on Monday if there is any concern from the coaching staff regarding the severity of Jennings' calf injury and if it could play out similarly to Christian McCaffrey's calf injury and Achilles tendonitis that morphed into much worse. "No. McCaffrey's was Achilles Tendonitis that had been bothering him for a while and never got better. Jauan is a calf that he missed all last training camp with. It is something that we don't think will be too serious, but it's bothering him now. Depending on how much he misses, I mean, I always want guys out there. It helps him, it helps the team. But, Jauan was alright last year too missing some time," Shanahan said. It's in line with the tone that Shanahan struck following the 49ers' preseason opener against the Denver Broncos on Saturday night. Shanahan was asked point blank if Jennings' absence is more about securing a new contract. "No, not at all. And this is actually why Jauan missed OTAs is because of his calf. It's the same injury he had last year during training camp, which made him miss a couple weeks during training camp last year. "We didn't get him until the end of training camp last year and it's the same thing on the MRI and it's the same thing he's going through. But, hopefully we'll get him back sooner than later," Shanahan said. Jennings led all 49ers wide receivers in receiving yardage last season with 975 yards on 77 catches with six touchdown grabs. As he enters the final year of his current deal, Jennings has reportedly requested a new contract from the 49ers this offseason.

Andy Reid: We don't listen to the noise, we have winners
The Chiefs went to the Super Bowl for the fifth time in the last six years last season, but that hasn't stopped people from wondering if the team will take a step back this season. A blowout loss to the Eagles in New Orleans capped a year that saw the Chiefs squeeze past opponents for 12 one-score wins in the regular season and playoffs. Another year of wear and tear on bodies and a few bounces the other way are often cited as reasons to think that someone else will rise to the top of the AFC, which is a point of view that Chiefs head coach Andy Reid can comprehend but it isn't one he thinks is particularly relevant to his team. 'You understand because there were so many close games,' Reid said on Up & Adams. 'But that's the National Football League, so I was proud of the guys and how they handled those. When it's all said and done, it's winning the game. We have winners, and they figured it out. I was proud of them for that. We don't listen to all the noise. If you do that, you're going to go crazy. . . . I don't care about the noise. Let's go win the game.' The Chiefs addressed a major shortcoming from their loss to the Eagles by taking tackle Josh Simmons in the first round and their championship mettle is something other teams won't be able to lean on when things go sideways during the season. Those are reasons to doubt the doubters, but the final accounting will take place over the coming months.
