The Eagles had a lot of questions surrounding their offensive line in the months following the end of the 2025 season, but Landon Dickerson spent some time with reporters following Day 3 of training camp practice and cleared up some rumors and give an update on his health.
Dickerson said that he’s doing good, and then quickly and succinctly denied reports from earlier in the offseason that he was considering retirement, noting he’s not sure where that report even came from. He also very simply replied,
“Not really,” when asked if he’s got any concern about accumulating injuries over the course of his career.
As for the stem cell treatment he received in Columbia this offseason — shortly after Cam Jurgens did the same —, Dickerson said that he spoke to a lot of veteran guys around the league who used the treatment, and so far, he thinks it’s helped him feel good entering training camp.
He admitted that not having surgery this offseason has been nice, and shrugged off suggestions that he slimmed down at all — joking that it was no more than a big trip to the bathroom.
“Not having a surgery a week before the first game — [that’s] good. Probably shouldn’t have gone out there and played, but you live and learn and you do stupid stuff when you’re young. So, I learned that mistake. Other than that, not having to get cut on is nice.”
As for the lesson he learned, Dickerson pointed to not coming back before his body is ready. He also confirmed that moving forward, he’ll approach returning from injury differently, and not try to be the tough guy and push through it.
“They don’t pay you to be hurt.”
