Landon Dickerson seems to be doing just fine.
The Philadelphia Eagles' injured offensive lineman was back with the team on the field on Thursday afternoon, and made a rare move by spending some time with the opponent.
Dickerson pulled up to a group of Cleveland Browns players with a case of Miller Lite. The Pro Bowler shared some post-practice brews with the enemy of the Eagles.

Dickerson's move to share some cold ones with the Browns went viral, but what's really important is the fact that the offensive lineman is doing very well just one day removed from having surgery on his knee.
Rather than sporting a brace, Dickerson is wearing a sleeve on his leg. He doesn't seem to need additional assistance getting around, which is another positive sign.

The vibes of the session went downhill once it was realized that Dickerson was down with an injury that was potentially season-threatening.
Dickerson was down for a bit, and when he got up, he needed help walking off the field. Shortly after, a cart wheeled him back to the locker room to get further testing done. Early indications weren't positive, but the follow-up tests showed that Dickerson's setback was minor.
The Eagles' star is dealing with a meniscus injury. While he got surgery on Wednesday, the door for a Week 1 return in September isn't closed.
Not having Dickerson in the lineup would be a notable hit for the Eagles. Since joining the team as a second-round pick a few seasons ago, Dickerson has been one of the most important players on the offensive side of the ball. In four seasons, he's been recognized as a Pro Bowler three times.
The Eagles have a few weeks to figure out whether Dickerson will be healed in time to play. Either way, it seems he'll be back a lot sooner than expected.
For the time being, Dickerson will be a spectator. The Eagles are set to host the Browns on Saturday afternoon. After that, they'll prepare for their third and final preseason game against the New York Jets next week. On September 4, the Eagles will go head-to-head with the Dallas Cowboys for the opener.
