The defending champion Philadelphia Eagles held joint practices this week with the Cleveland Browns ahead of their home preseason matchup Saturday afternoon.
One player who won’t be suiting up for that game is Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson. The three-time Pro Bowler suffered a leg injury earlier in training camp. He had minor surgery but may be back in time for the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys on Sept. 4.
He’s on the sidelines for practice wearing a knee brace in the meantime. Once today’s practice finished up, it was Miller Time for him and his fellow linemen.

The Eagles and Browns have two of the most-acclaimed offensive lines in the league. Their projected starters this season have made a combined 20 Pro Bowls and 15 All-Pro teams (six first-team, nine second-team).
With Dickerson out, backup Brett Toth has been working in with the Eagles’ starters. If Dickerson misses time, he’ll be the second new starter in 2025 for the Eagles’ front along with right guard Tyler Steen. The former third-round pick is taking the spot left by free agent departure Mekhi Becton, now in Los Angeles.
The Browns wrap up their preseason slate against the Los Angeles Rams on Aug. 23. Philadelphia finishes off their preseason schedule a day earlier on the road against the New York Jets.
