The move ensures he misses four games for the second time this season after suffering an initial foot injury during the win over New England.

In his first regular-season start, Dean logged seven tackles and a tackle for loss before exiting with a foot injury.

Dean had started the last three games before his injury, logging 30 tackles, two for loss, and a half-sack on the year.

Nicholas Morrow started in Dean’s place earlier this year and will likely return to that role.

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.
