There were reports early in the offseason that Eagles left guard Landon Dickerson was considering retiring after five NFL seasons, but he remains a member of the team and he addressed those reports on Saturday.
Dickerson said that any notion that he was thinking about walking away didn’t start with him.
“I’m not sure where you guys got that from,” Dickerson said, via Eliot Shorr-Parks of WIP.
Dickerson added that he’s “not really” concerned about the cumulative toll his body takes as a result of playing. Dickerson did add, via multiple reporters, that he thinks he returned too quickly after having meniscus surgery last summer and that he has rethought his approach to trying to push through injuries as he has in the past.
