Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Impactful in Week 10 win
Dean tallied seven tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and forced a fumble Monday in a 10-7 victory against the Packers.
Neither team could get much offense going, as the contest was largely dominated by defense. Dean came up with a huge play late in the second quarter, sacking Jordan Love after the Packers had reached field-goal range and forcing a fumble that was recovered by Philadelphia. Both the sack and the forced fumble were the first of the season for Dean, who missed the first five games of the campaign due to a knee injury. His seven stops Monday represented a season-high mark.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Role continues to expand
Dean finished with five tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.
The inside linebacker also played on a season-high 33 defensive snaps in his third game since returning from a torn left patellar tendon. Dean has 11 tackles (seven solo) across his last two games. While Philadelphia is still figuring out its linebacker rotation, Dean made 128 tackles (80 solo) in the 2024 regular season and should therefore remain firmly in the mix.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Limited role in season debut
Dean played six snaps on special teams in Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.
Dean made his season debut after recovering from a torn left patellar tendon. The Eagles seemingly eased him into action, and he should eventually return to at least a partial role alongside fellow linebackers Zack Baun and rookie Jihaad Campbell.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: All set for Week 6
Dean (knee) is active for Thursday night's matchup with the Giants.
Dean will make his season debut after missing the first five games of the year while recovering from a torn left patellar tendon that he suffered in January. The linebacker recorded 128 total tackles (80 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also adding an interception, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries over 15 regular-season games last year.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Activated from PUP list Thursday
Dean (knee) was activated from the reserve/PUP list Thursday.
Dean's activation makes him eligible to play Thursday night against the Giants, though he's still listed as questionable. A determination on his status will likely be made around 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 ET kickoff. He has yet to make his 2025 season debut after recording 128 tackles in a breakout 2024 regular season.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Could return Thursday
Dean (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Giants.
The Georgia product logged another full practice Wednesday but must still be activated to the Eagles' active roster in order to play Thursday night. If Dean is activated in time for the Week 6 divisional matchup, he's likely to serve as Philadelphia's top reserve inside linebacker, playing behind Zack Baun and rookie Jihaad Campbell.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Estimated as full participant
The Eagles listed Dean (knee) as a full participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.
Dean is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn left patellar tendon that he suffered during the Eagles' 2024 postseason run. He has been estimated as a full practice participant for the Eagles' two walkthrough practices this week, but his participation in Wednesday's session will indicate his chances of making his 2025 debut against the Giants on Thursday.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Considered full participant Monday
Dean (knee) was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated injury report.
Dean has been slowly working his way back from a torn left patellar tendon that he suffered in the postseason, and he has now logged back-to-back full practices dating back to Friday's injury report. The linebacker will have two more chances to officially log another full practice before Thursday's matchup with the Giants.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Won't be activated for Week 5
Dean (knee) will not be activated from the reserve/PUP list for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
The Georgia product was a limited participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but he'll remain out for the Week 5 contest. Dean had an impressive 2024 campaign, tallying 128 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and four passes defended over 15 regular-season games. While he remains sidelined, expect Jihaad Campbell and Zack Baun to start in the Eagles' inside-linebacker corps.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Limited on Wednesday
Dean (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Dean was designated for return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window. He said he feels he can "fully go" now after suffering a torn patellar tendon in the Eagles' wild-card playoff win back in January. However, Dean's role is unclear upon his return, considering the presence of Zack Baun and Jihaad Campbell at linebacker for the Eagles.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Closing in on return
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Tuesday that Dean (knee) will return to practice "either this week or next," Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Dean opened the season on the reserve/PUP list while continuing to recover from a torn left patellar tendon that he suffered during the Eagles' NFC wild-card win over the Packers in January. He's eligible to have his practice window open this week, and once that happens, the Eagles will have 21 days to reinstate Dean from the PUP list. The 2022 third-round pick is still viewed as a long shot to play in the Eagles' Week 5 clash against the Broncos on Sunday, but he could be available for Week 6 against the Giants on Oct. 9.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Designated to return
Dean (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday.
The 2022 third-round pick out of Georgia has missed Philadelphia's opening four games this season due to a knee injury sustained in a wild-card win over the Packers in January. He now has 21 days to be added to the Eagles' active roster before reverting to the reserve/PUP list. It's unclear whether Dean will reclaim his starting spot once healthy, as rookie linebacker Jihaad Campbell has impressed through his first four games as a pro.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Opening season on PUP list
Dean (knee) was moved to the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.
Dean will be forced to miss at least the first four games of the 2025 campaign as he continues his recovery from the torn left patellar tendon he sustained in the Eagles' wild-card win over the Packers in January. The 24-year-old took a massive step forward in his third NFL season, compiling 128 total tackles (80 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also adding an interception, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries over 15 regular-season contests in 2024. Once healthy, Dean figures to start alongside Zack Baun at interior linebacker.
