Eagles' starting right guard Cam Jurgens is also dealing with an injury to his pec and missed Monday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

If Dickerson is officially ruled out on Christmas Day, that could mean a larger role for rookie Tyler Steen, assuming Sua Opeta stays at right guard in place of Jurgens.
