Dickerson hadn’t snapped the football in a game since Sept. 29, when he handled seven. Philadelphia used Nick Gates for 12 snaps during a November game, then had him go all the way in the regular-season finale, when the Eagles sat many of their starters in preparation for the playoffs.
Cam Jurgens is in danger of missing Sunday’s NFC Championship Game so Landon Dickerson is ready to slide into that role.
But Sirianni acknowledged that it's not a typical bye week, what with two weeks to prepare for a single opponent, followed by the extensive media engagements in New Orleans, and preparing for a different game schedule with alterations such as the longer halftime break.
Landon Dickerson earned unanimous All-American recognition and won the Rimington Trophy as the nation’s best center for Alabama ’s 2020 unbeaten CFP national-championship team. During his four seasons in the NFL, Dickerson has worked as the Philadelphia Eagles’ left guard and earned Pro Bowl recognition three times.

Retirement declarations can wait; the veteran Philadelphia Eagles defensive end can say with certainty, though, that he's trying to rehab a torn triceps and return for the Feb. 9 Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. “Whatever I've got to do for this one game,” Graham said Thursday, “I feel like I can do it.”
