Earlier this week, it was announced that Dillon had been fully cleared to return to football after battling a neck injury that occurred late in 2023. The 26-year-old will now make his return to the field with the defending champions, hoping to provide some thump as a backup to Saquon Barkley. Dillon has averaged just 4.1 yards per carry in his four-year NFL career, and that number has decreased every year he’s been in the league. He’s also not much of a pass-catching option with only one season of more than 30 catches; however, he does have 18 touchdowns and could be a solid short-yardage or red-zone option when the Eagles want to give Barkley a breather.

Dillon suffered a stinger late in the 2023 season that knocked him out for Green Bay’s final few games of the year. The injury didn’t appear to be major at first, but Dillon was still dealing with it when training camp rolled around in the summer. The Packers eventually placed him on season-ending injured reserve. Dillon ran for 613 yards at a lumbering 3.4 yards per carry in 2023 and doesn’t have any value as a pass-catcher. He will be forced to sign a one-year, prove-it deal on the open market.
