Dickerson, the Birds’ second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, has started the last ten games at left guard. Sua Opeta or Brett Toth are possible replacements if Dickerson is unable to clear COVID-19 protocols by game day.

Losing Dillard is a blow to the Eagles offensive line depth. The Birds’ first-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, Dillard has started three games this season and is a valuable backup in the Eagles run first offense.
