Sign Brandon Scherff? Make a trade? Here are Eagles' options to replace Landon Dickerson

The Eagles could be without Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson for an extended period after he suffered a torn meniscus during the open stadium practice at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday evening. Dickerson had a Monday MRI that revealed an injury, but not its severity.

A meniscus tear can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to heal, depending on the severity of the tear and the treatment approach.

A minor tear, treated with rest and physical therapy, could heal in 4-8 weeks, costing Dickerson a few games and 3-6 months for complete recovery. A more severe tear for Dickerson could require surgery, and potentially up to 6-9 months for a full return to activities.

With Eagles fans and media patiently waiting for a prognosis, we're looking at options currently on the roster, in free agency, and via a potential trade that could help absorb the loss of the perennial Pro Bowl offensive guard.

On the Eagles' roster

Brett Toth

Toth was signed by the Eagles in 2019 after he was granted a military waiver from the Army. He was claimed off waivers by the Cardinals before rejoining Philadelphia and spending time on both the active roster and practice squad, appearing in 17 games total in 2020 and 2021. Toth played three games for the Panthers in 2023. He was released in December and signed to the Eagles' practice squad for the remainder of that season, and spent all of 2024 on the practice squad.

Matt Pryor

Pryor spent the 2024 season with the Chicago Bears after playing the 2023 season in San Francisco. The Eagles selected Pryor in the sixth round of the 2018 NFL draft out of TCU. Last season, Pryor saw action in all 17 games for Chicago, making 15 starts at offensive guard. Pryor was solid in 2024 and was the 21st highest graded offensive guard in 2024 according to PFF.

Kenyon Green

The Eagles acquired the former first-round pick in a trade with the Houston Texans this offseason. The 15th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M, Green (6-4, 325) has started 23 games in his career and will look to have a breakout season finally.

Trevor Keegan

A fifth-round pick in 2024, Keegan (6-5, 306 pounds) will look to take the next step and push for more playing time after spending all of his rookie season on the active roster. He took snaps at the center position during OTAs.

Free Agent options

Brandon Scherff, G

Another potential addition for depth, the veteran offensive guard had a pass block win rate of 93.8% last year, which ranked 14th among guards, according to ESPN.

Jedrick Wills Jr., OT

Wills is sitting out the year, but could be in line for a position switch like Mekhi Becton, and he's still a solid pass blocker who has a career pass block win rate of 92.0%.

Dalton Risner

The 29-year-old Risner was a second-round pick of the Broncos in 2019 and played four years in Denver before signing with the Vikings in 2023. He has been a starter when healthy throughout his NFL career.

Trade Candidates

Liam Eichenberg-Miami Dolphins

Eichenberg, 27, has played in 60 games and started 52 in his four seasons with the Dolphins. While he has consistently struggled throughout his career, the veteran lineman has made starts at all five positions, and coaches have valued his versatility.

However, Eichenberg is currently on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.

Tytus Howard-Houston Texans

Howard, who has been a key piece for Houston's offensive line, has been mentioned as a trade candidate. The 29-year-old is versatile, having played tackle and guard.
