  • Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Another double-digit tackle outing

    Dean recorded 11 total tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants.

    The 23-year-old has now racked up 23 total tackles across Philadelphia's last two games, bringing his season total to 49 tackles. Dean had also never recorded a full sack before taking down Daniel Jones in the second and third quarters during Sunday's win. The third-year pro from Georgia appears to be settling into the Eagles' top inside-linebacker role and is expected to continue making plays in Week 8's matchup against the Bengals.

  • Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Makes 12 tackles in win

    Dean recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) in the Eagles' 20-16 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    The inside linebacker did not appear to be impacted by the ankle injury that made him a limited participant in the Wednesday practice session during the week leading up to the game. Dean also played on 96.0 percent of Philadelphia's defensive snaps. The third-year pro already has a career-high 38 tackles through five games.

  • Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Past ankle issue

    Dean (ankle) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

    Dean upgraded to full participation in Friday's practice after logging limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday, indicating that he's moved past his ankle injury in time for Sunday's matchup against the Browns. Expect the third-year pro to start alongside Zack Baun as part of Philadelphia's top inside linebacker duo in Week 6.

  • Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Limited to open week

    Dean (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session.

    The Eagles are coming off a bye, so it's not clear whether Dean picked up the ankle injury. Regardless, Dean could avoid an injury designation heading into Week 6 against the Browns if he's able to practice in full Thursday or Friday. The 2022 third-round pick has 26 tackles (17 solo) and one pass defended through four regular-season games.

  • Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Active in win

    Dean recorded eight tackles (three solo), including one for a loss, in the Eagles' 15-12 win over the Saints on Sunday.

    Dean also played 98 percent of the defensive snaps with Devin White a healthy scratch for Philadelphia. The third-year pro has played on at least 95 percent of the Eagles' defensive snaps in all three games this season, recording 19 tackles (12 solo) and a pass defensed. The Georgia product recorded a combined 43 tackles across his first two seasons.

  • Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Starting season opener

    Dean is expected to serve as a starter at inside linebacker in the Eagles' season opener Friday versus the Packers in Brazil, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Though Devin White signed a one-year deal with the Eagles over the offseason and is an experienced option at MIKE linebacker spot, McLane relays that Dean beat White out for the starting role during the preseason. White will end up missing the Eagles' season opener Friday due to an ankle injury, so Dean will have the opportunity to build security as a starter with a strong showing versus the Packers. A 2022 third-round pick, Dean was a touted prospect coming out of Georgia, but he was limited largely to a special-teams role as a rookie, and foot issues limited to just five appearances for the Eagles in 2023.
