Landon Dickerson played bartender and served cold ones for the Super Bowl champion Eagles with the injured offensive lineman's career temporarily on ice.
The Eagles can't wait for Dickerson to resume his day job.
Dickerson passed around beers Thursday at the end of a joint practice with the Cleveland Browns — with a brace on his right knee following meniscus surgery that will keep the three-time Pro Bowl lineman sidelined at least through the end of training camp.
Dickerson was injured at the end of Sunday's open practice at Lincoln Financial Field. There is no set timetable for his return, and Brett Toth took first-team snaps at left guard this week at practice.
Toth likely will start for the Eagles when they play their second preseason game on Saturday against the Browns.
"Whatever they ask me to do, I'm going to step to the plate and give it the best I got," Toth said. "Hopefully I can perform to the standard that was before me."
Beyond that, there are no guarantees. The Eagles remain hopeful Dickerson could return for the season opener when the Eagles raise their championship banner on Sept. 4 against Dallas.

"Don't have to name any starters or any backups at any position," coach Nick Sirianni said. "Brett's done a nice job and I like the depth that we have at that position and I know we have options there, but you asked about Brett, I think Brett's doing a really good job and he's got a lot of versatility."
Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson remained confident that Toth could handle the spot but was relieved that Dickerson wasn't necessarily expected to remain sidelined deep into the season.
"It was alarming, but I'm glad we got a good-case scenario," Johnson said. "Make no mistake, Landon's one of the, if not, the best guard in football."
Toth, who played at Army, has had three stints with the Eagles and spent a bulk of that time on the practice squad.
"H's a really smart individual, really good with the detail of the game," Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo said. "He understands a lot of positions, which is great to have a guy like that that can line up in multiple spots and be able to step in if something happens. So I think that's the biggest thing he brings and I think he's been in the system for a while."

Seahawks attempt their version of a "Tush Push" with Jalen Milroe
There is no play in the NFL these days that generates as much conversation (or controversy) as the "tush push" for quarterbacks. This of course has been thrust into the forefront of discussion due to the Philadelphia Eagles' incredible success with it over the last few seasons. The "tush push" has often been attempted by other teams, but rarely has it been replicated with any semblance of success like Philly. Well, that is until Friday, August 15th, 2025 I suppose. The Seattle Seahawks kicked off their Week 2 preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs and sent their first team offense on the field to start the game. Seattle faced a 3rd-and-1 at their own 41-yard line, and unveiled a rather unusual formation. Starting quarterback Sam Darnold lined up in the backfield. Under center was none other than rookie Jalen Milroe, who was shoved over the line to convert the first down, and the Seahawks would eventually score a touchdown six plays later. Ever since Jalen Milroe was drafted, head coach Mike Macdonald has been adamant about two things: Sam Darnold will be the starter, but Jalen Milroe will play. Naturally, the use of Milroe's legs seems to be the most logical way to incorporate his unique skillset into the offense. Perhaps this is a taste of what might be on the horizon for Seattle in 2025.

Aug. 13 (UPI) -- The Buffalo Bills agreed to a four-year, $48 million contract extension with James Cook, the Pro Bowl running back confirmed Wednesday on social media. The pact includes $30 million guaranteed, the most paid to a running back in the last five years. Cook, 25, was entering the final year of his rookie contract. The fourth-year running back totaled a career-high 1,567 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns over 17 games in 2023. He totaled 1,267 yards from scrimmage and scored 18 times, including a league-high and franchise record-tying 16 rushing touchdowns, over 16 starts in 2024. Cook was in full uniform and a full participant in practice Tuesday, ending a four-day hold-in. He also missed the Bills' first preseason game. The Bills will participate in a joint practice with the Chicago Bears on Friday in Chicago, and the Bears will host the Bills in their second preseason game at 8 p.m. EDT Sunday in Chicago. They will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their preseason finale Aug. 23 in Tampa, Fla. Cook and the Bills will host the Baltimore Ravens in their regular season opener Sept. 7 in Orchard Park, N.Y.

Steelers' Mike Tomlin Makes Major Aaron Rodgers Decision
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Even in his early 40's, Aaron Rodgers continues to make himself one of the biggest stories in the NFL. In his 21st pro season, he will look to keep the Pittsburgh Steelers competitive and elevate them a bit. The future Hall of Fame quarterback just finished a disastrous two-year stint with the talented but disappointing New York Jets. He didn't play in the Steelers' first preseason game last weekend, as they opted to start Skylar Thompson and have Mason Rudolph serve as their QB2 in their 31-25 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. If fans were hoping to see Rodgers this Saturday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they will be disappointed by what Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin said. Tomlin told reporters that several key starters, including Rodgers, will sit versus Tampa Bay. #Steelers coach Mike Tomlin tells reporters that veterans such as Aaron Rodgers, D.K. Metcalf, T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Cam Heyward won't play in their second preseason game, among others. — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 14, 2025 Read more: Russell Wilson's Playing Status for Giants-Jets Unclear While with the Jets, Rodgers, when he was healthy, occasionally flashed reminders of the old version of himself who was regularly embarrassing defenses as a member of the Green Bay Packers. But by and large, he looked like a shell of his former self. After being traded to New York during the 2023 offseason, he tore his Achilles during the team's first offensive series of the 2023 campaign. Last year, he threw for 3,897 yards and 28 touchdowns, but his 90.5 passer rating was the lowest it had ever been in a season in which he had been healthy and a starter.

Photo byThe Steelers have been playing quarterback roulette ever since Ben Roethlisberger retired following the 2021 season. They experimented with Kenny Pickett, a University of Pittsburgh product, for the next two years before trying their hand with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields in 2024. They have undergone some significant changes since the end of last season. Wide receiver George Pickens was traded to the Dallas Cowboys and has essentially been replaced by D.K. Metcalf, and running back Najee Harris is now with the Los Angeles Chargers. But Pittsburgh's defense remains strong. T.J. Watt is always a pass-rushing monster, and it has added veteran cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay. Slay, of course, is fresh off winning the Super Bowl championship with the Philadelphia Eagles. Read more: Steelers Highest Ranked Position Group is Good News For Aaron Rodgers The team ranked eighth in points allowed last season, and that ranking could improve this fall. However, its offensive line is a significant concern, and its deficiencies at that position group will be magnified given Rodgers' wear and tear and lack of mobility. Since the Steelers hired Tomlin to be their head coach in 2007, they have never finished with a losing record. All eyes in Western Pennsylvania will be on Rodgers to see if he will keep that streak intact. For more on the Steelers and general NFL news, head over to Newsweek Sports.
