The Dallas Cowboys open the 2025-26 NFL season in a matter of days, with an NFC East showdown against the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in primetime.

With the game rapidly approaching, teams are back on the practice field, and we're beginning to see some of the latest news and information regarding key players who have been dealing with injuries. For Philadelphia, one of the biggest injury concerns has been star offensive guard Landon Dickerson, who went down during training camp.

Dickerson is a three-time Pro Bowler and has started 62 of 63 games with the team, so his presence on the offensive line is an important one for Philly.

While it's good news for the Eagles, it could spell trouble for the Cowboys, who have struggled against the run.
