Philadelphia Eagles three-time Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson returned to full practice on Tuesday after sitting out Monday because of a back issue.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said the back is Dickerson's only health concern after he missed most of training camp due to an Aug. 10 right knee injury and resulting procedure.
The defending Super Bowl champions host the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night in the season opener.
Philadelphia's injury report had only one player not practicing, reserve quarterback
Tanner McKee (fractured right thumb), meaning recently acquired Sam Howell likely will be the backup for starter Jalen Hurts.
Defensive tackle Jalen Carter (shoulder), linebacker Josh Uche (groin) and safety Andrew Mukuba (hamstring) were full participants.
Dickerson, 26, went down while blocking on a pass play and remained on the field for several minutes during the Aug. 10 practice. After an MRI, he had a procedure on the meniscus in his right knee.
A second-round pick in 2021, Dickerson has started 62 of 63 regular-season games played for the Eagles. He has also started nine playoff games, including all four last season as Philadelphia won Super Bowl LIX.
He has established himself as an elite interior offensive lineman and collected Pro Bowl accolades each of the last three years. He earned a 79.2 overall Pro Football Focus grade last season, ranking 13th among 136 qualifying guards.
