Whether or not Philadelphia Eagles’ starting left guard Landon Dickerson will be available on Thursday night when they face the Dallas Cowboys has been a major question mark this week.

Dickerson underwent minor surgery on his knee a few weeks ago and has been considered week-to-week, but landed on the Eagles’ injury report with a new injury on Monday.

Per the team’s report, Dickeson was sidelined with a back injury on Monday.

Head coach Nick Sirianni didn’t have much to say about Dickerson’s back injury ahead of Tuesday’s practice.

“Yeah, I’m not going to get into when that happened or anything like that,” he said.

Sirianni did, however, confirm that his knee was not an issue.

Dickerson was spotted back at practice on Tuesday, though it’s to be determined if it was in a limited capacity or full.

Regardless of whatever injury Dickerson is battling heading into Thursday Night Football versus Dallas, there’s very little doubt that he will miss this game.

“For Landon, nothing’s ever too serious,” Hurts told reporters following Dickerson’s surgery. “He’s one that’s always playing through something and has a great competitive spirit, has an edge to overcome some of those nicks that come up. Always good to hear that he’s in a good place.”

If, for some reason, Dickerson isn’t ready to go, then expect Brett Toth and maybe rookie Drew Kendall to step up in his place.
