The Eagles are reeling, coming off their third straight loss and no longer in control of their own destiny as a candidate for the NFC’s No. 1 playoff seed. Now they’ll also be without one of their starting offensive linemen, with Pro Bowl guard Landon Dickerson undergoing surgery for a thumb injury, according to NFL Media.

Dickerson briefly exited Monday’s loss to the Seahawks while dealing with a broken face mask but still logged 99% of the team’s offensive snaps. Fortunately for the Eagles, while Dickerson’s status for Week 16’s matchup with the Giants is now in question, the third-year pro will not be placed on injured reserve, per Mike Garafolo, which would’ve required at least a four-game absence.

This means the former Alabama standout, who’s been a regular at left guard between Jordan Mailata and All-Pro center Jason Kelce, is expected to be fully available for the playoffs. The Eagles have already secured a postseason berth, but it’s unclear yet whether they’ll enter with home-field advantage; they currently hold the NFC’s No. 5 seed but can still win the NFC East.
