Philadelphia Eagles starting LT Andre Dillard practiced on Thursday, but left early at some point, and did not participate in 11-on-11's. According to Mike Garafolo (after an initial report from Derrick Gunn), Dillard's 2020 season is over, with a biceps injury.
#Eagles left tackle Andre Dillard will miss this season with a biceps injury suffered in practice today, sources say. @RealDGunn first on the injury earlier. Tests revealed the team’s fears were warranted. Surgery needed. Tough one for last year’s first-round pick.

That now makes two Eagles offensive line starters who are likely done for the season, after Brandon Brooks tore his Achilles in June.
In July, the team signed Jason Peters back to the team, not to play LT, but rather to replace Brooks at RG. Peters also clearly served as something of "bust insurance" at LT for Dillard, who was bad as a rookie, and had some struggles in training camp.
While Jordan Mailata has filled in for Dillard at times during training camp, Peters is the clear favorite to re-assume his former spot back at LT.
The Eagles' projected offensive line now looks like this:
| LT | LG | C | RG | RT |
| Jason Peters | Isaac Seumalo | Jason Kelce | Matt Pryor | Lane Johnson |
The Eagles' yearly injury onslaught is already well underway, and we're still only in August.
