Eagles suffer devastating blow as star player exits with injury vs. Chargers (UPDATE)

UPDATE:Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson has come back in the game.###Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson went into the locker room after suffering a calf injury in the second quarter of Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium.Veteran Brett Toth filled in on the final two drives of the first half and will start the second half if Dickerson does not return. Toth has started three games this season, replacing Dickerson in the team’s Week 6 loss to the New York Giants and replacing center Cam Jurgens in Weeks 8 and 10. He is a serviceable backup, but the Eagles’ offensive line has struggled all year and losing another starter will make things more difficult on offense.The Eagles have lost two straight games without right tackle Lane Johnson, who has missed the last three weeks with a Lisfranc injury. Fred Johnson started at right tackle against the Chargers for the third consecutive week. Philadelphia’s interior offensive line has caused most of the problems due to Dickerson and Jurgens not being healthy this year.Dickerson underwent knee surgery during training camp and also dealt with a back injury earlier this season, while Jurgens had offseason back surgery and missed two weeks this season with a knee injury. Jurgens has worn a brace since returning in Week 11 against the Lions. Read the original article on NJ.com. Add NJ.com as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
