Eagle Practice Soured by Landon Dickerson Injury eagles-2025-training-camp-day-Philadelphia Eagles returned to Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday for the only open practice of their 2025 training camp. Fans packed the stadium to get their one chance to see the Birds live before preseason kicks into full gear. While the energy was high and the defensive unit impressed, the day took an unfortunate turn with Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson going down with what appears to be a serious leg injury.
Here’s a full breakdown of Day 12 of training camp, from standout performances to injury updates and what it all means for the team heading into preseason.
Record Crowd Packs The Lince
With over 50,000 fans in attendance, the Eagles drew the biggest open practice crowd since adopting this format. The team ran a structured two-hour scrimmage, simulating in-game conditions, and fans responded with chants, cheers, and lots of midnight green.
Players fed off the energy. Head coach Nick Sirianni emphasized during his pre-practice media availability how much the team values this annual fan event—not just for engagement, but as a real test of focus under pressure.
Defense Wins The Day
Philadelphia’s defense looked sharp and disruptive throughout the session. They outperformed the offense in 11-on-11 and situational drills, officially winning the scrimmage 12–9 in the team’s internal scoring system.
Landon Dickerson Injury Casts a Shadow
The most alarming moment came late in the practice. Landon Dickerson, a cornerstone of the Eagles’ offensive line, went down during a team period with what appeared to be a right leg injury. The stadium fell nearly silent as trainers rushed to his side.
Dickerson stayed on the ground for several minutes, clearly in pain, before being carted off the field with assistance from Jordan Mailata, Dom DiSandro, and medical staff. The team has not yet provided an official diagnosis, but the concern is real—and warranted.
Dickerson had been practicing fully in recent days after nursing a minor knee issue earlier in camp. Sunday marked his return to full-speed work. Unfortunately, that return was cut short in front of thousands of hopeful fans.
Brett Toth Steps In, Depth Being Tested
Following Dickerson’s departure, Brett Toth slid into the first-team left guard spot for the remainder of the scrimmage. While Toth is a seasoned backup, the drop-off from a Pro Bowl starter like Dickerson is steep.
The coaching staff may consider shuffling Tyler Steen or Matt Hennessy into the role depending on Dickerson’s recovery timeline. With preseason games on the horizon, the offensive line’s depth and adaptability will face a major test.
Jalen Hurts Steady, But Offense Stalls
Quarterback Jalen Hurts delivered a steady but unspectacular performance. The offense moved the ball efficiently between the 20s, but struggled to convert in red zone periods. Part of that was due to increased defensive pressure, but the absence of Dickerson mid-practice clearly disrupted the rhythm.
DeVonta Smith had a strong outing, catching multiple passes in traffic, and rookie WR Johnny Wilson continues to push for a roster spot with his size and contested-catch ability.
The Eagles will return to closed practices this week as they prepare for their first preseason game. All eyes will remain on Landon Dickerson’s status. The team has one of the most respected offensive lines in football, but losing an anchor like Dickerson would shake the foundation heading into the season.
Fans and teammates alike are hoping for the best—but preparing for adjustments if needed.
