Eagles News: Injury update on G Landon Dickerson following NFC Championship Game
The Eagles convincingly defeated the 49ers yesterday to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl, but not without an injury to one of their offensive starters.
With 10:52 remaining in the fourth quarter, left guard Landon Dickerson injured his right shoulder on a 3-yard by Kenneth Gainwell. Dickerson bypassed the medical tent and headed straight to the training room after getting looked at on the sideline.
Medical professional David J. Chao offered his analysis, and it appears that Dickerson avoided serious injury:

Eagles fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
Dickerson has played in every game for Philadelphia this season, allowing just one sack in 1000+ pass-blocking snaps. The former second-round pick has been having an outstanding year, earning the first Pro Bowl honors of his career.
On the heels of containing a talented 49ers’ pass rush, the Eagles will need Dickerson at his best vs. Kansas City in two weeks.
