Andre Dillard fractured his forearm in Philadelphia Eagles practice

Andre Dillard fractured his forearm in Philadelphia Eagles practice

The Eagles held onto Andre Dillard this summer, choosing not to trade their backup left tackle and a former first-round pick.

Dillard is the insurance policy for star left tackle Jordan Mailata, but his availability could be questioned after he suffered a forearm fracture in Thursday’s practice.

According to OrthoInfo, the length of time Dillard will out depends on the severity of the fracture.

A stable fracture may require 3 to 4 weeks in a cast. A more severe fracture may need to be immobilized for 6 to 10 weeks.

Dillard is in the final year of his rookie deal, and his talent as a reserve plays a significant part in the Eagles having the best offensive line and the top depth in the NFL.
