Nakobe Dean to be a full participant in Eagles’ rookie minicamp practice

Former Georgia All American LB and third-round pick Nakobe Dean to be a full participant in the Philadelphia Eagles’ opening rookie minicamp practice

Nakobe Dean is in Philadelphia and after two days of draft day injury drama, the former Georgia All-American will take the field at the NovaCare Complex for his first practice as a pro.

Despite reports of a pectoral and knee injury, Dean will line up as middle linebacker for Jonathan Gannon during the Eagles’ initial rookie minicamp sessions on Friday and Saturday.

Dean told the local media that the Bulldogs played a variety of coverages and that he’ll have some familiarity with Philadelphia’s defense that’s set to unveil more 3-4 looks upfront.
