Dean (foot) said Thursday that he's been out of his walking boot since February, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports. Dean has been dealing with a foot injury that forced him to miss Philadelphia's final seven games last season, but it sounds like he could be returning to the field soon. Dean logged 30 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks throughout his five appearances in 2023, and the 23-year-old is expected to remain one of the Philadelphia's top inside linebackers once his recovery from Lisfranc surgery is complete.

Nakobe Dean Latest News
Nearing return
Dean (foot) said Thursday that he's been out of his walking boot since February, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports. Dean has been dealing with a foot injury that forced him to miss Philadelphia's final seven games last season, but it sounds like he could be returning to the field soon. Dean logged 30 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks throughout his five appearances in 2023, and the 23-year-old is expected to remain one of the Philadelphia's top inside linebackers once his recovery from Lisfranc surgery is complete.
Officially placed on IR
The second-year linebacker out of Georgia was diagnosed with a Lisfranc sprain after leaving the Eagles' Week 10 win over the Cowboys, so it's no surprise that he's been placed on IR. Dean missed time earlier in the season with a foot issue, but he's started four of the five games that he's appeared in thus far, recording 30 total tackles, including two tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks. Nicholas Morrow and Zach Cunningham are expected to see an uptick in work on Philadelphia's defense with Dean missing at least the next four games.
Sustains foot injury
Dean missed the start of the 2023 campaign due to a foot injury but made his season debut in mid-October. He tallied three tackles (one solo), including half a sack, during Sunday's matchup but will be unavailable for most of the second half. The 2022 third-rounder will have additional time to recover since the Eagles have a Week 10 bye.
