Eagles Training Camp Observations Day 12: The Linc And Landon Injury

The Eagles took their 12th training camp practice of the summer to Lincoln Financial Field for the team’s only open practice of the summer.

The organization sold 60,000 tickets to benefit its autism charity, and the turnstile count looked to be the largest since this setup began in 2013. 

It was a competitive session dressed up in a scrimmage environment with the defense winning the team periods by a 12-9 margin under a modified scuring system based on the goals of the period.

A strong pass rush was the key for the defense, probably the strongest effort of ths summer that included first-round pick Jihaad Campbell being a difference maker from the second level.

The practice was marred, however, by an injury to three-time Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson late in what was the longest practice of the Nick Sirianni that finished at two hours and 10 minutes.

The tough-minded Dickerson was able to leave the field with the help of trainers, his best friend on the team, Jordan Mailata, and ultimate Dom DiSandro. Dickerson was putting very little weight on his right leg.

When Dickerson reached the sideline he was carted off to the locker room, and Brett Toth finished the practice at LG with the first team.
