Report: Eagles' Dillard likely out for season with torn biceps

Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Andre Dillard will likely require season-ending surgery after tearing his biceps during practice Thursday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

The injury is the second major blow to Philadelphia's blocking unit this offseason. The Eagles lost Pro Bowl right guard Brandon Brooks for the year when he suffered a torn Achilles tendon in June.

Dillard was the Eagles' first-round pick (22nd overall) in 2019 but played sparingly during his rookie campaign. He was set to take over as the team's starting left tackle after adding muscle in the spring.

Philadelphia re-signed Jason Peters - the team's starting left tackle since 2009 - in July to replace Brooks inside. But Peters will likely be inserted back to his primary position in the wake of Dillard's injury, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The move will see third-year blocker Matt Pryor take over at right guard.

Head coach Doug Pederson could also keep Peters at guard and slot Jordan Mailata at left tackle, though the 2018 seventh-rounder is still relatively new to football as a former rugby player.

The Eagles also have Nate Herbig and rookie Jack Driscoll as interior options should Pryor falter early in the year.
