PHILADELPHIA Eagles star Landon Dickerson was carted off the field with a right leg injury during his team’s open practice last night.
The 26-year-old is set to undergo an MRI test later today to determine the extent of the injury.

Dickerson played a key role as the Eagles won the Super Bowl last season.
Philadelphia stars were given heroes’ receptions as they were greeted by around 60,000 fans for the open practice session.
But those spectators fell quiet as Dickerson went down.
The offensive guard’s injury occurred towards the end of his team’s two-hour session.
Dickerson fell to the turf as Jalen Hurts passed the ball to Saquon Barkley.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Dickerson will have an MRI on his right knee today.
The Eagles star had been included on Saturday’s injury report due to a knee issue.
But he was not included on yesterday’s report prior to the open session.
Dickerson is a three-time Pro Bowler.
And the Eagles will be desperate to have him available for their first regular season game.
Nick Sirianni‘s men begin their campaign with a home game against the Dallas Cowboys on September 4.
Should former Alabama star Dickerson be forced to miss time, Brett Toth would likely step into his role.
Toth, 28, replaced his injured team-mate for what was left of Sunday’s session.
The undrafted former Army Cadet is in his third stint with the Eagles.
Philadelphia also added more depth to the position earlier this year.
