The Eagles will be without middle linebacker Nakobe Dean after the second-year star suffered a foot injury that’ll keep him out for multiple weeks.
#Eagles LB Nakobe Dean is expected to miss multiple weeks with a foot injury suffered yesterday in their win over the #Patriots, sources say. It was relatively decent news considering, as no surgery is required — he should be back with plenty of time this season.

After watching T.J. Edwards and Kyzir White in 2022, Dean was tasked with being the Eagles’ middle linebacker and defensive play-caller.
In his first regular-season start, Dean logged seven tackles, and a tackle for loss before exiting with a foot injury.
Philadelphia has Zach Cunningham and Christian Elliss on the 53-man roster, and GM Howie Roseman will likely make a move ahead of the Week 2 matchup against Minnesota.
