## Now we know why
Dickerson looked badly off against the Commanders in Week 1. An injury report the next day explained the tape.
## Beaten all afternoon
Washington's aggressive pass rush ran through the 27-year-old guard, who fought his own mobility the entire game.
## Eagles won anyway
Philadelphia took it 24-22, close enough to wonder how the offense would have moved with a healthy left guard.
## A bone bruise in the knee
Monday brought the reported diagnosis. For a lineman who lives on leverage and lateral push, that is about the worst place to hurt.
## Off the 53, onto IR
Per the Inquirer's Jeff McLane, Dickerson comes off the 53-man roster and shuts down football activities for at least four weeks.
## He owned it on air
Speaking to WIP on Monday, Dickerson went straight at the criticism instead of around it.

> I was a complete liability yesterday. Again, that was my fault.
## He'd warned them in camp
Dickerson said he had told the team back in camp that he shouldn't be on the field until he felt healthy.

> I know I said earlier in camp, I shouldn't be out there until I feel healthy.
## Kendall gets first crack
Drew Kendall is the likely replacement at left guard, the next man in a line that has to hold for a month.
## Watch Willie Lampkin
The undersized Lampkin impressed in training camp and could steal guard snaps once the rotation settles.
## Key takeaway

Dickerson played through a knee bone bruise he knew wasn't right, and the Eagles are now down their starting left guard for at least four weeks.
