How will Landon Dickerson injury impact the Eagles?

Video Transcript
Yesterday, Sunday, at Philadelphia Eagles practice, their left guard, Landon Dickerson was carted off the field.
He was initially helped off the field and then carted inside after what was reported to be a right leg injury.
Now, the latest on that, Adam Schefter did report early this morning that he will undergo an MRI on his right knee later today.
So hopefully we'll get some updates on that as soon as possible.
And if those updates come out while we're on air, we will update you as soon as possible, of course.
But look, Landon Dickerson was a key cog in what has been the best offensive line in the National Football League over the last few years, if not one of the best offensive lines in the National Football League.
And if he's out, now, we don't know if he will miss time.
Maybe it was a stinger, maybe it was something that he'll just miss a couple of days or a couple of weeks and he'll be ready for week one.
But if Landon Dickerson is out for a considerable amount of time, what does that do for a team that relies heavily.
On being one of the best offensive lines in the league that relies heavily on running the football.
I mean, Saquon Barkley was the difference in this team missing out on a Super Bowl, losing in the Super Bowl, and eventually winning a Super Bowl.
That offensive line is pivotal in Saquon Barkley's success, especially for an offensive line that already lost its right guard, Mackay Beck in this past offseason to free agency.
Of course, they still have Jordan Mailata, they still have Lane Johnson, their bookend tackles, who are also pivotal parts of that offensive line.
But let's look at the offensive line as one unit.
It is not five individual parts.
So if Landon Dickerson does miss a considerable amount of time, then what will this, you know, the Super Bowl offensive line that had both of those guards, what will it look like without both of those guards?
How will this run game adjust?
How will this affect Jalen Hurts in the pocket?
All kind of up in the air.
We'll learn more later today when those MRI results come back, but scary scene, Fitzy, for Landon Dickerson to practice on Sunday.

Missouri football players in the NFL: Which former Tigers are competing for roster spots?
Preseason games are underway in the NFL, and several recent Missouri football alums are competing for roster spots. Mizzou has had first-round picks in back-to-back years, and the Tigers sent three players to the league in the 2025 NFL Draft. Several more players signed for teams as undrafted free agents after the April event was over. Here is every former Missouri player currently competing for a spot on an NFL roster: New York Jets Armand Membou: The right tackle was the No. 8-overall pick in this year's draft and is expected to immediately start for the Jets in 2025. He is joined in New Jersey by two of his former teammates from Columbia. Brady Cook: The QB signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent this year and is competing for a roster spot with Justin Fields, Adrian Martinez, and Tyrod Taylor. He went 6-of-8 passing for 62 yards in the Jets' preseason win over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. Harrison Mevis: The placekicker, after a standout year in the UFL, signed with the Jets in the summer. He went 3-of-3 on field goals in the Jets' preseason opener with a 39-yard long. Chicago Bears Luther Burden III: The No. 39-overall draft pick and three-year Mizzou standout has had quite the preseason, but appears to be settling into a role on new head coach Ben Johnson's offense. He caught two of his three targets for 29 yards in the Bears' preseason opener. Arizona Cardinals Darius Robinson: After missing much of his rookie season due to a calf injury, the No. 27-overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft is competing for a starting role on the Cardinals' defensive line. Los Angeles Rams Cody Schrader: Mizzou's single-season rushing yards record holder scored his first touchdown as an NFL player in the Rams' first preseason game, hauling in a nine-yard touchdown pass from former Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett. He led the Rams in rushing with five carries for 59 yards. The Rams' running back room is crowded, though, with Kyren Williams, Blake Corum, and Jarquez Hunter among the players Schrader is competing with. Miami Dolphins Theo Wease Jr.: The wideout was an undrafted free agent pickup for the Dolphins shortly after the 2025 NFL Draft. He appeared in Miami's first preseason game and had one reception for five yards. Larry Borom: The former Mizzou offensive lineman was a fifth-round draft pick by the Chicago Bears in 2021 and now will compete for the Dolphins' starting left tackle job. Denver Broncos Tyler Badie: The running back has recovered from a scary injury he sustained last season and had five carries for 32 yards in a preseason win over the 49ers. Kristian Williams: The defensive tackle signed as a UDFA after this year's draft and seemingly faces an uphill battle for a roster spot in a crowded room. Kris Abrams-Draine: The 2024 draft fifth-round corner had a tackle and defended a pass in Denver's first preseason game. He appears to be in a good position to land on the 53-man roster. Johnny Walker Jr.: The edge rusher out of Tampa, Florida, was an undrafted free agent pickup after the draft this year, but his rookie season ended before it started. He will spend the year on the injured reserve list due to a lower-body injury. Kansas City Chiefs Nick Bolton: The fourth-year NFL linebacker recently signed a three-year, $45-million extension. With two Super Bowl rings in hand, he is expected to be a starting middle linebacker for the Chiefs in 2025. Elijah Young: The running back spent three seasons at Mizzou before transferring to Western Kentucky. He signed as a UDFA with KC this year. Detroit Lions Ennis Rakestraw Jr.: The former standout Mizzou corner has had some bad injury luck again and will miss the 2025 season with a shoulder injury. He was a second-round pick in 2024, but will spend the upcoming season on the injured reserve list. Trystan Colon: The Lions signed Colon after center Frank Ragnow retired this summer. He most recently played for the Arizona Cardinals. Dominic Lovett: The wide receiver out of East St. Louis finished his career at Georgia after two seasons with Mizzou. He was a seventh-round pick in this year's draft. Mekhi Wingo: The St. Louis native spent one season with Mizzou before transferring to LSU. Green Bay Packers Ty'Ron Hopper: A third-round pick in 2024, Hopper has reportedly had an impressive summer in Green Bay. He has reportedly moved over to the strong side and is in the mix for a playing position on the Packers' defense. Indianapolis Colts Jaylon Carlies: The Mizzou safety switched to linebacker in the NFL, and that appears to have paid off as he is expected to start in Indianapolis this season. Nate Noel: The one-year Mizzou running back from the 2024 season originally signed with the Miami Dolphins after the draft, but was waived over the summer. On Friday, the Colts announced they had picked him up. Marcellus Johnson: In the same transaction, the Colts announced they had added Johnson, a former sixth offensive lineman and swing tackle for Mizzou. Jacksonville Jaguars Javon Foster: The fourth-round pick from 2024 was MU's starting left tackle for three years before that. He appears to have moved over to guard for the Jaguars. New England Patriots Marcus Bryant: The left tackle was a seventh-round pick by the New England Patriots in the 2025 NFL Draft. With No. 4-overall selection Will Campbell expected to start at left tackle, Bryant will shift to the right side for the Patriots, where he started in their preseason win over Washington. Yasir Durant: The offensive tackle was placed on the injured reserve list for the Patriots in July, and now will need to reach an injury settlement with the Patriots to be able to see the field in 2025. Seattle Seahawks Drew Lock: After a year with the New York Giants, Lock is back in Seattle — where he spent the 2022 and 2023 seasons — and is expected to back up Sam Darnold in the 2025 season. Cleveland Browns Isaiah McGuire: The defensive end is about to begin his third season in the league after a solid 2024 campaign. He is competing to start opposite Myles Garrett at the other edge-rushing role. Las Vegas Raiders Albert Okwuegbunam: The Raiders signed the former Mizzou tight end Aug. 3, shortly after he was released by the Colts. San Francisco 49ers Jordan Elliott: The defensive tackle projects as a starter on the 49ers' defense this season. Carolina Panthers Akayleb Evans: The one-year Mizzou corner was signed by the Panthers last December after being waived by the Minnesota Vikings. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Connor Bazelak: The quarterback, who spent two seasons with Mizzou before transferring to Indiana and then Bowling Green, is competing to back up Baker Mayfield this season.

NY Giants vs. Jets: Live updates from joint training camp practice
FLORHAM PARK - The New York Giants return to the practice field Tuesday morning, but Brian Daboll's team is taking the show on the road with the 2025 regular season less than one month away. The Giants are staying in New Jersey and they will see their MetLife Stadium neighbors in the first of two joint practices with the New York Jets ahead of their Saturday night preseason game. This padded session will be a barometer for just how far the Big Blue defense has come since last season when Aaron Rodgers and Gang Green carved them up. Rodgers and Robert Saleh are gone for the Jets, of course, so Daboll will be coaching against Aaron Glenn. The two have organized these two sessions - it'll be a home and home with the party moving to the Giants' Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford on Wednesday morning. With media and fans in attendance, there's plenty to keep an eye on during Tuesday's first of two joint practices between the Giants and the Jets. Live updates from Giants-Jets joint practice Practice begins at 10 a.m. EST. Reports from practice below!

No time like now for a Yankees' momentum shift, starting with a win against the Twins
NEW YORK – Rookie Will Warren dialed up one of his best starts Monday night, for which the reeling Yankees were eternally grateful. But it was still touch-and-go against the wait-'til-next-year Twins until the late innings, when Minnesota's bullpen got involved. Against journeyman ex-Yankee reliever Brooks Kriske in the seventh inning, Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge delivered RBI singles against a drawn-in infield, extending the Yanks' one-run lead. By the eighth inning, the Yankees resumed Home Run Derby at the Stadium, as Jazz Chisholm Jr. belted their fourth solo shot of the night, on the way to a 6-2 victory. At a critical time, the Yankees can count on winning games when they launch homers and when the Twins (23 losses in their last 30 regular season games vs. the Yanks) appear on the schedule, which will happen again in September. More directly, this is a period where the Yanks – clinging to the last AL wild card – can build back some momentum against clubs that are either mediocre or rebuilding. Yankees can take advantage of August schedule Through Aug. 31, the Yankees (63-56) have series against the Cardinals (61-59), Rays (58-62), Nationals (47-71) and White Sox (43-76) after this one with the Twins (56-62), who are at least due to start Joe Ryan in Wednesday's finale. In between, there's a four-game set against the Red Sox (65-55) that will carry a touch of October, with both clubs battling for playoff spots and currently chasing the AL East-leading Blue Jays. 'I know we can be better,'' Ben Rice said of his Yankees, with a 21-31 mark since June 13. Warren can be part of that solution, posting a 2.84 ERA over his last seven starts, but also approaching professional highs in innings and starts. Monday was the latest leap in Warren's development, lasting 6.2 innings without issuing a walk and yielding just three hits – including solo homers by Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach. Warren has reached a trust-your-stuff level, getting seven strikeouts with his mix of four-seamers, sinkers and sweeping sliders. And even in hitters' counts, Warren has vowed to stay with an aggressive approach. 'I'm going to let you hit it and let these guys play defense because I do have confidence in my stuff,'' said Warren, paired with Rice behind the plate. Ben Rice's potential for increased starts as Yankees' catcher As Rice mentioned Monday, catcher "is my natural position,'' and he might see more time behind the plate given Austin Wells' year-long offensive struggles. Since the All-Star break, Wells is 6-for-51 (.118) with two extra-base hits and a .375 OPS, and he was on the bench Monday with the Twins starting righty Zebby Matthews. Cody Bellinger homered in the first off Matthews, and Giancarlo Stanton and Rice clubbed consecutive homers against him in the third, providing an early 3-0 lead. Larnach's homer ended Warren's night at 85 pitches, cutting the lead to 3-2, but Luke Weaver and David Bednar finished in drama-free fashion, boosted by the insurance runs. In a mere-mortal phase entering Monday, Judge was 3-for-15 in five games since coming off the injured list (right flexor strain) and he's still seeking his first extra-base hit since then. A larger view had Judge batting .189 (10-for-53) in 16 games with a .699 OPS since July 10, but Monday night's 1-for-2 with an RBI single, lineout and two walks was encouraging. But the captain's DH-only status might continue through at least next week. He increased his throwing to about 120 feet Monday, but there is no public timetable on his return to right field. Yankees' need for Giancarlo Stanton as a regular presence That's where Giancarlo Stanton started for the second time in three days, and Stanton (1-for-2, two RBI, two walks) remains a hot hitter, batting .300 with a 1.034 OPS and nine homers in 24 games since July 6. Having Stanton in the lineup is imperative, and this is an urgent time in Yankees Universe. 'I think we know it inherently. You feel it around this place all the time,'' Aaron Boone said of that urgency before the game. The Yankees manager's message was to 'keep it real simple,'' winning at-bats and taking care of things defensively – areas of consistency that have eluded this club. 'If we play the way we're capable of playing, that'll take care of itself.'' This article originally appeared on No time like now for a Yankees' momentum shift, starting with a win against the Twins
