The plan was for to replace longtime star as the team's left tackle in 2020, but it turns out Dillard won't even get one game Ruben Brown Jersey to step into Peters' shoes. After multiple reports indicated Dillard with a biceps injury, it now appears the former first-round draft pick is done for the year. As first , tests have confirmed Dillard will require surgery for his injury and thus likely mi s the entire 2020 season.The 24-year-old lineman tore his bicep during practice, , and had reportedly Cody Ford Jersey already been battling a shoulder strain, sitting out recent camp se sions.The news marks the second significant blow to the Eagles' starting offensive line of this offseason, as Pro Bowl right guard previously in June. More importantly, it stunts the expected progre sion of Dillard as the club's left tackle of the future. Drafted 22nd overall in 2019, the Washington State product practiced as the exclusive first-team blind-side blocker to open camp, signifying that he had truly been entrusted with the job Buffalo Bills Men Jersey long held by Peters, 38, who primarily re-signed with the Eagles this summer to convert to right guard, Brooks' position.Now, , Peters is all but a sure bet to shift back to his natural position of left tackle, which he manned for Philadelphia from 2009-19. The Duke Johnson Jersey perennial Pro Bowler is far more of a proven starter than Dillard, and some might argue his presence protecting quarterback blind side is a safer bet for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. Still, there's a reason the Eagles allowed Peters to test free agency -- and then linger on the market -- earlier this offseason; the franchise legend has mi sed 12 games over the last three seasons and has also struggled to finish starts in recent years. With Peters expected to return Daryl Williams Jersey to left tackle and Dillard likely headed for injured reserve, third-year reserve is likely to fill in at right guard.
