Antonio Dixon Out For the Year

Antonio Dixon, a defensive tackle for the Eagles, landed on the injured list due to torn triceps. Dixon tore his triceps Oct. 2, playing against the 49ers. Dixon left Week 4 vs. the 49ers due to his injured triceps.

The triceps are on the back of the upper arm, opposite the biceps. Upon falling on your hands, it is possible to rupture the triceps tendon. You can also rupture the tendon by pushing something very heavy or by overworking during weight training.
