Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Will miss consecutive weeks
Dean (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Dean was unable to practice throughout Week 18, making it consecutive weeks that the linebacker has been unable to get on the practice field. The 25-year-old will now miss consecutive contests due to a hamstring injury, and it is unclear if he will be able to play in the Eagles' first playoff matchup. With Jaelan Phillips (ankle) also ruled out for Sunday's game, Jalyx Hunt, Brandon Graham and Joshua Uche may see a significant increase in defensive snaps for the Eagles' linebacker corps alongside starters Zack Baun and Nolan Smith.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Remains DNP on Thursday
Dean (hamstring) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.
Dean was injured in Week 16 and missed last Sunday's win over the Bills. He's in danger of missing a second straight contest ahead of the postseason. Jihaad Campbell, Jeremiah Trotter and Smael Mondon are next up at linebacker for the Eagles.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Estimated as DNP
Dean (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Dean was unable to play against the Bills in Week 17 due to a hamstring injury he picked up in Week 16 against the Commanders. He has two more chances to log a practice ahead of Sunday's game against Washington, though he may be held out as a precaution as Philadelphia gears up for a postseason run as the defending Super Bowl champions.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Ruled out for Week 17
Dean (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Dean has yet to resume practicing since suffering a hamstring injury Week 16 versus Washington, and he'll be unable to suit up for Sunday's matchup against Buffalo. As long as Dean remains unavailable, rookie first-round pick Jihaad Campbell will stand to step into a starting role on defense for the Eagles.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Opens week as DNP
Dean (hamstring) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday.
Dean hurt his hamstring Saturday against Washington and wasn't able to finish the game. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio described the fourth-year linebacker as "iffy" Tuesday, so Dean's DNP to begin the week doesn't necessarily mean he isn't going to play Sunday against Buffalo. However, his ability to suit up is very much up in the air, and Jihaad Campbell would likely move into a starting role if Dean is sidelined against the Bills.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Could play through hamstring
Dean (hamstring) appears to have a chance to play this week, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said that Dean is "iffy this week," which is a sign the linebacker could play in Sunday's game against the Bills. The 25-year-old was unable to return to last Saturday's win over the Commanders due to the hamstring injury, and the final decision about his chances to suit up Sunday likely depend on this week's practice participation levels.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Won't return Saturday
Dean (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's divisional matchup against the Commanders.
Dean was initially forced off the field in the first quarter due to a hamstring injury. With Dean done for the day, increased defensive snaps will be allotted to Jeremiah Trotter and Smael Mondon.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Suffers hamstring injury
Dean (hamstring) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Commanders.
Dean picked up a hamstring injury during the first quarter of Saturday's divisional matchup, making his return uncertain. Jeremiah Trotter and Smael Mondon will benefit from expanded roles on defense as long as Dean remains sidelined.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Stacking up sacks
Dean recorded seven tackles (three solo), 1.0 sacks and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 22-19 loss to the Chargers.
Dean missed the first five games due to a knee injury he suffered during last year's playoff run, but now that he's back to full speed, he is providing a significant boost to the Eagles' pass rush with 4.0 sacks over the last five games. The 2022 third-round pick already has a career high in the category. He'll look to continue the momentum over the next two weeks against the Raiders and Commanders.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Tallies 12 stops in Week 13 loss
Dean posted 12 tackles (five solo) and a defensed pass Friday in a loss to the Bears.
Dean's tackle total was second highest on Philadelphia behind Reed Blankenship's 14. It was also by far Dean's best mark of the campaign; previously, his season-high mark had been seven in Week 10 against Green Bay. Dean had posted a sack in three straight contests coming into Friday, and though he couldn't extend that streak, he continues to be a viable IDP asset after missing the first five games of the campaign while recovering from a knee injury.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Season-best snap rate
Dean recorded five tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks and one tackle for loss in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.
Dean had been limited to around a 60 percent defensive snap rate since returning from a knee injury in Week 6. He still had a relatively modest stat line, though he does have a sack in each of his last three matchups.

Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Logs sack in win
Dean tallied three tackles (one solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Philadelphia's win versus the Lions on Sunday.
Dean recorded one of the team's two sacks of Jordan Love during the victory. The 24-year-old missed the first five weeks of the season with a knee injury but has been productive since returning, posting 21 tackles (14 solo), including 2.0 sacks, in just five outings.

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.
