Landon Dickerson’s ankle injury against Denver creates a Thursday-night question for the Eagles vs Giants. If he’s out, Brett Toth slides to left guard with Cam Jurgens at center, forcing interior-line tweaks on a short week at MetLife.

Dickerson’s rocky injury history—knee in the NFC title run, a Super Bowl playoff grit, offseason meniscus and back issues—adds risk to Philadelphia’s odds. Teammates praise his toughness, while the staff weighs rest vs. rotation to protect him for the stretch.

Philadelphia’s Week 4 clash spotlighted the Eagles’ offensive line, as Lane Johnson exited with a shoulder issue and Tyler Steen limped off before halftime, returning with a leg wrap. Matt Pryor filled in at right guard, and Fred Johnson stepped in when Johnson left. Steen returned after halftime, but the line remains a concern as Johnson was listed questionable. The unit’s health will influence Hurts’ pocket integrity and the Eagles’ ground game in the near term.

Optimism persists that both Steen and Johnson won’t miss extended time, but the line has already weathered multiple injuries this season. How reserve blockers perform could tilt fantasy outputs for Hurts, Swift and company in the coming weeks, making depth and matchup play crucial for managers.

Hurts threw three TDs as Philadelphia erased a 26-14 deficit behind a late offensive burst sparked by Fred Johnson’s return at right tackle. A.J. Brown topped 100 receiving, DeVonta Smith hauled in the game-winner on a fourth-down throw, and Jordan Davis anchored with a blocked field goal, a 61-yard rushing score, five tackles and a hustle sack.

The reshuffled line stabilized the late drives, turning Pryor’s early miscue into a comeback. With Lane Johnson sidelined by a stinger, the Eagles leaned on cohesion up front and a high-tempo attack to cap a dramatic 33-26 win over the Rams, signaling fantasy relevance for Hurts, Brown, and Smith in upcoming matchups.

Lane Johnson's neck injury sidelined him against the Rams, destabilizing the Eagles' nearly ironclad right edge and forcing Matt Pryor into an unfamiliar role. Hurts faced early pressure, and Philly mustered -2 passing yards and 24 total yards through one quarter as sacks mounted.

Pryor's entrance showed the line can adapt, but the absence exposes Johnson's ripple effects beyond protection, touching the run game and overall rhythm. Historically, the Eagles play better with Johnson, 104-55-1, than without him (15-23), making this a critical turn in the early-season narrative and fantasy implications for Hurts, Brown, and the supporting cast.

The situation intensifies the ongoing critique of Philadelphia's offense and sets up a proving ground for the depth chart, with Johnson's absence translating to measurable fantasy risk in upcoming weeks as the line stabilizes or remains in flux.
