Details on how much time Landon Dickerson will miss after having a minor meniscus surgery
It's not a sure thing that Landon Dickerson will be ready for Week 1 vs the #Cowboys, but that's the hope.Given his history of multiple knee procedures, the #Eagles won't rush to get him back on the field. They'll play this smart. https://t.co/TOOWClFoZd
The Eagles received some good news Monday afternoon, as Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson will be listed as week to week. Dickerson will have a minor procedure on his injured right meniscus. Still, could be back in time for the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field on September 4.
The former second-round pick exited the Eagles' open stadium practice with a left knee injury that required a Monday MRI.
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. With Dickerson listed as week-to-week, he'll have a meniscectomy, or a small trim of the injury.
Menisectomy (trim) means +/-6 weeksMeniscus repair means 4-6 months(that was #JJMcCarthy last season)Treatment depends of the type of tear https://t.co/UfgPUnqi0H
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 could deploy Brett Toth or Trevor Keegan in that spot, or rotate Tyler Steen to left guard to reach the NFC Championship game, allowing Matt Pryor to play right guard until Dickerson is ready.

NFL insider revisits his biggest concerns about Kelee Ringo amid a difficult camp battle
Greg Cosell revisited his initial NFL draft analysis when discussing Eagles CB Kelee Ringo's preseason struggles The 2025 NFL draft was another outstanding event, and Kelee Ringo was widely regarded as the biggest winner. Over the three-day weekend, the Eagles landed ten impact players, including former Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell. What the Eagles didn't do was select a cornerback until Round 5 when they selected UCF slot cornerback Mac McWilliams, who, coincidentally, wasn't initially looked at as a candidate to win the cornerback job opposite Quinyon Mitchell. The Eagles lost Darius Slay (Steelers), James Bradberry (free agent), Avonte Maddox (Lions), and Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings) in free agency and signed Adoree' Jackson. Even with those moves, Ringo was the biggest winner and had the inside track to be a starter. Fast forward four months, and Ringo has been an underwhelming performer and is losing a camp battle with Adoree' Jackson, with Jakorian Bennett making his case for the job after being acquired in a trade. Legendary NFL analyst Greg Cosell was a guest on the Ross Tucker Podcast and revisited his initial pre-draft analysis of Ringo, which focused on his stiff lower body and, most importantly, his inability to have an elite change of direction. Ringo is starting to feel the squeeze after his preseason matchup against Bengals All-Pro wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase. Ringo is engulfed in an intense training camp battle with Adoree' Jackson, and neither player did anything in the opener to warrant being named a starter. Ringo allowed two catches for 59 yards and a TD when matched up against Chase, and the touchdown catch was bad with the Eagles' cornerback whiffing on a tackle attempt.

30 most important Buffalo Bills players of 2025: No. 9 Connor McGovern
As the Buffalo Bills prepare for the 2025 NFL season, we'll take a look at the most important contributors on their roster. They have a ton of cornerstone players who will be returning for another shot at bringing a Lombardi Trophy to Buffalo, and they'll have help from some new additions as well. Leading up to the season, we will be counting down the top 30 most important players on the roster. We'll recap their 2024 season, look ahead to what they'll offer in 2025, and tackle the most pressing questions surrounding them this coming year. Next up on the countdown is Taylor Rapp. Background Position: Center Age at start of season: 27 Experience: Sixnth year 2025 cap hit: $9,385,000 2024 recap Connor McGovern made a successful transition from guard to center in 2024, starting 16 games and making his first career Pro Bowl. He was reliable, allowing zero sacks and committing three penalties while grading as the 12th-best center in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus. 2025 outlook McGovern enters the final year of his contract ready to run it back as the full-time starting center for the Bills. He'll be joined by all of the starting offensive linemen from last year: Dion Dawkins, David Edwards, O'Cyrus Torrence, and Spencer Brown. McGovern provides the base to a group which quarterback Josh Allen can trust. Biggest question: What does the future hold? McGovern signed a three-year contract with the Bills in 2023, so he will become an unrestricted free agent in 2026 following this season.

Howie Roseman's admitted big mistake may have built a potential Eagles dynasty
Howie Roseman's most regretted move laid the groundwork for potential Eagles dynasty. When you discuss sports with fanatical people, superstition will sometimes work its way into the conversation. You have no idea how easy it is to cross paths with people who have worn the same Philadelphia Eagles jersey on game days for several years. Then, there are the other crowds, those who believe in curses. They won't say the word 'dynasty' because they believe there is a chance that doing so may birth some jinx. Forget all that. We're taking it there. Following the manhandling of the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, there are questions about whether Philadelphia can win it all again. It's certainly a possibility, but let's be frank. It's too early to discuss potential dynasties, but we can certainly dig into a mistake that may have laid the groundwork for one. An Eagles draft-night mistake that was truly hard to get over It was a night that will live in infamy... Okay, that may be a tad extreme. It was a wild night, though. While everyone sat home during the COVID-19 crisis, pro football hosted the 2020 NFL Draft. Philadelphia, desperate for a wide receiver, watched as Henry Ruggs, Jerry Jeudy, and CeeDee Lamb were all snatched up by other franchises. Fortune fell the Eagles' way, though. As Commissioner Roger Goodell announced they were on the clock with the 21st selection, the best receiver in the NFL Draft, Justin Jefferson, was still available. There isn't an Eagles fan walking in the Delaware Valley or anywhere else in the country who doesn't know what happened next. Philadelphia passed on Jefferson and settled on Jalen Reagor. Most of Eagles Nation knew it was a mistake almost immediately. The Minnesota Vikings and Jefferson knew it was a mistake. The former bellowed in laughter and shared high-fives. The latter issued a warning. Everyone who passed him would live to regret it. Howie Roseman's biggest regret of the past six years may have laid the groundwork for a potential Eagles dynasty. The Vikings made Jefferson the 22nd player taken during the 2020 NFL Draft, one spot after Philadelphia added Jalen Reagor. Since that night, Jefferson has been named the NFL Offensive Player of the Year (2022). He has been named to four Pro Bowl rosters (2020-2022, 2024). He has been named both a First-team All-Pro (2022, 2024) and a Second-team All-Pro (2020, 2021) twice. Jalen Reagor's career totals consist of 86 receptions, 1,037 receiving yards, 986 return yards, and six total touchdowns. Howie Roseman, during a recent episode of the Bussin' With The Boys podcast, called passing on Justin Jefferson the one roster decision that he still regrets. 'I think there's one that's pretty obvious. One guy who we didn't draft is going to the Hall of Fame, but you know what? At the end of the day, that's what I'm saying. The mistakes kill me. I think about the picks that we have and who we could have gotten and the things that we did wrong, and it helps me get better. I feel like I'm constantly trying to learn and be better, and figure out 'whys'. Why you make mistakes, and why you're picking guys that you should have picked other guys." So, I feel like when you make a mistake, and they're big mistakes, the worst thing that can happen is that you don't learn from it. And so I really feel like, if you don't make mistakes like that, we probably don't come back and play in two Super Bowls in the last three years.' Honestly, we disagree with some of this, but here's why. Sometimes, it's easy to wonder whether the Reagor selection had anything to do with Philadelphia's wide receivers coach, Aaron Moorehead. Remember, he is close with Reagor's father. Montae Reagor. They were teammates during their days with the Indianapolis Colts, but if that theory doesn't work for you, here's another that you might see as being more pleasing. Let's say the Eagles did select Jefferson. Had that been the way things turned out, Roseman and company would have never taken DeVonta Smith in the NFL Draft the following season. You can also argue that Reagor's extended stay on the roster forced Roseman's hand again and led to the trade for A.J. Brown. Sometimes, when you're good, even the mistakes work out in your favor. A draft-night snafu led to a string of fantastic choices. Jalen Hurts was taken with Philadelphia's second-round pick that same year Reagor was selected. Since then, the general manager has landed two elite wideouts despite missing on a future Hall of Famer. Maybe we're seeing the birth of a dynasty. Perhaps we aren't. It's certainly too early to place the Eagles into that type of category, but the framework is there. So is the foundation, and guess what? This began by way of a bad decision. Rest easy, Mr. Roseman. All is forgiven. You have more than made up for this one.
