Dean finished this past Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers with 10 tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble. Dean has reached double-digit combined tackles six times, four of which have come over the past five regular-season games. He's now up to 116 tackles (74 solo), including 3.0 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries across 14 games. The 2022 third-round pick will look to add to his total during Sunday's NFC East clash against the Commanders.
Dean recorded 12 tackles (nine solo) during Sunday's 22-16 win versus the Panthers. Dean managed double-digit tackles for the second straight game in Week 14, and he has now posted 10-plus tackles in five contests this season. He also eclipsed 100 tackles on the year with Sunday's performance. He'll be looking to keep adding to his career-best campaign in Week 15 versus the Steelers.
Dean recorded 10 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 24-19 win at Baltimore. Dean played 69 of the Eagles' 71 defensive snaps in Week 13, and he came away with a double-digit tackle total for the fourth time this season. He's in the midst of a breakout season and profiles as a strong IDP option for when Philadelphia hosts the Panthers in Week 14.
Dean recorded eight tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for a loss, and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams. The starting inside linebacker dealt with a groin injury during the practice week leading up to the game but was a full participant by Thursday's session. Dean, a 2022 third-round pick, continued his career-best season with his big night: He now has 84 tackles (53 solo), including 3.0 sacks, four pass breakups, including an interception, and two fumble recoveries in 2024.
Dean (groin) was a full practice participant Thursday. Dean was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, but that didn't hold him back during Thursday's session. Barring any setbacks, the 2022 third-round pick should be good to go against the Rams on Sunday. In the six regular-season games since the Eagles' Week 5 bye, Dean has logged 50 tackles (31 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery.
Dean (groin) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report. Dean played through a groin injury during the Eagles' Week 11 win over the Commanders, during which he tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed. The 2022 third-round pick will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.
Dean recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed during Thursday's 26-18 win versus the Commanders. Dean rotated out for just three defensive snaps in Week 11, and he managed double digits in the tackle column for the third time this season. He's safely on pace for his first 100-tackle season headed into Week 12, when the Eagles will travel to take on the Rams.
Dean (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Dean upgraded to full participation Wednesday after opening the Eagles' week of practice with an estimated DNP, so it appears he's moved past his groin issue in time for Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Commanders. The Georgia product has recorded 66 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and defended three passes through the Eagles' first nine games this season. He's expected to start alongside Zack Baun in Philadelphia's linebacker corps in Week 11.
Dean (groin) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimation. Dean was estimated as a DNP on Monday, but he was able to upgrade his participation during Tuesday's walkthrough. Wednesday's practice will provide a clearer picture of his status heading into Thursday night's game against the Commanders. In the five games since the Eagles' Week 5 bye, Dean has logged 40 tackles (23 solo), including 2.0 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery.
