The Eagles are searching for answers after three straight losses, and the latest bit of uncertainty centers on a name that would normally bring stability to the middle of the line: Landon Dickerson.
Philadelphia dropped to 2-3 after a late collapse against the Jacksonville Jaguars in England, and the injury picture around the roster has only gotten uglier. The offensive line, in particular, has become a real concern, with fans eager to know whether Dickerson might be ready to rejoin the mix after spending the early part of the season on injured reserve.
As Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reported on X, formerly Twitter: “Eagles LG Landon Dickerson is eligible to return from IR this week but Nick Sirianni wouldn’t say if that’s going to happen or not. He does say Dickerson has been working hard behind the scenes,”
Dickerson has been sidelined by a bone bruise in his right knee, but the Eagles could certainly use him now. Their line has already been thrown into upheaval by the retirement of Lane Johnson, and then the team added another jolt by trading center Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens, which left the depth at that spot thin.
Whether Dickerson is cleared to come back soon or not, the bigger issue is that Philadelphia has not looked like itself over the last few weeks. Still, getting a veteran presence back on the interior would at least be a step in the right direction.
The Eagles return to action Sunday at home against the Carolina Panthers.

Eagles Backfield Injuries Just Put An Unknown RB In The Spotlight
The Eagles are shuffling the backfield again, and the latest move brings JaQuinden Jackson into the mix as the team tries to patch together depth at running back. Jackson, a former Arkansas standout who also spent time with the Jaguars, is joining Philadelphias practice squad with the hope that he can help stabilize an offense suddenly dealing with injuries at the position.
The timing matters because the Eagles have already been forced to adjust after setbacks to Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley. For a player still waiting for his first NFL action, this is the kind of opening that can turn a practice-squad call-up into something bigger quickly, especially with the season moving into a stretch where every healthy body counts.

Eagles Fans May Not Like Why Hurts Keeps Running Less
Jalen Hurts has been running less in the early part of the 2026 season, and for Eagles fans who have grown used to the quarterback being a major part of the ground game, it has been noticeable. Through five games, Hurts has 23 carries for 107 yards, while Philadelphias offense as a whole is putting up fewer rushing yards per game than it did a year ago, a shift that has changed the feel of an attack built in part on Hurts legs.
Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion said the team is still trying to keep the offense balanced between run and pass, but the way Hurts is used in the run game depends on the opponent and the game situation. The bigger question for Philadelphia is whether this is a temporary adjustment or the new normal, because the Eagles have clearly been willing to lean away from one of their most familiar edges when the weekly plan calls for it.

Big Dom Just Created An Unusual Eagles Debate Off The Field
Dom DiSandro has spent nearly three decades around the Eagles as one of the most visible behind-the-scenes figures in the organization, handling security and game-day operations while also serving as a trusted adviser to the general manager. For most of that time, his political views were kept private, even as he became a familiar presence in Philadelphia football circles.
Recently, though, DiSandro stepped into a different spotlight when he took part in a public political gathering in the city and spoke with optimism about the Eagles future. The appearance, which placed him alongside prominent civic and party figures, added an unusual off-field wrinkle to a franchise that usually prefers its headlines to come from the sideline rather than the stage.
