Landon Dickerson played the role of “bartender” and he served cold beers to the Eagles of Philadelphia, while he is away due to an injury,
Dickerson presented beers at the end of joint training with the Browns of Cleveland on Thursday – he had a right knee atmosphere after a meniscus operation which will hold him at least until the end of the camp.
Dickerson was injured at the end of Sunday training at Lincoln Financial Field. There is no schedule for his return and Brett Toth took rehearsals with the first team as a left -wing this week.
Toth should be a starter for the Eagles on Saturday against the Browns, during their second preparatory match.
“No matter what they ask me to do, I’m going to do it best,” said Toth. I hope I can perform up to the standards present before me. »»
Beyond that, there is no guarantee. The Eagles are optimistic that Dickerson can return to the game in time for the first match of the season, which will reveal their banner of champions of the Super Bowl on September 4, against Dallas.
“I don’t have to name starters or substitutes for any position,” said coach Nick Sirianni. Brett has done a good job, I like the depth that we have in this position and I know that we have options, but you have asked about Brett, and I think Brett is doing very good work and he has good versatility. »»
Lane Johnson remains confident that Toth will be able to manage this position, but it was relieved to know that Dickerson was not going to stay away for a long time of the season.
“It was worrying, but I’m happy to have a positive scenario,” said Johnson. Landon is one of the best football guards, if it’s not the best. »»
Toth has three passages with the Eagles and spent most of his time on the training team.
“He is an intelligent individual, very good with the details of the game,” said the offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. He understands several positions, so it’s good to have this kind of guy in training in several positions, to help if something happens. So I think it is the biggest aspect it brings. »»
