The Philadelphia Eagles lost a key piece of their offense in training camp when starting center Landon Dickerson went down with a knee injury. Now, he has reportedly undergone surgery on Wednesday, August 13th, for the meniscus injury that he suffered.

There is positive news in all of this for the Eagles, though. The injury could have been worse. Dickerson avoided what would be considered a major injury. Because of that, there is hope that he can return to the field sometime early in the season.

For now, no return to action is set in stone. After all, everyone recovers from injuries and surgeries at a different speed. Naturally, the Eagles are also going to be careful to prevent any further injury, but it’s good news for the defending Super Bowl champions overall.

Previously, it was reported that Dickerson would be considered week-to-week with the injury. The surgery was also described as a “minor procedure,” going into it, and there had been some hope that he could even be ready to go in Week 1.

Landon Dickerson was carted off the field from practice on Sunday night. The immediate concern was that he suffered an injury to his right meniscus. This was during an open practice, and it tempered the atmosphere inside the facility while Philadelphia prepped for the season.
