Nakobe Dean Injury: Opening season on PUP list

Dean (knee) was moved to the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.

Dean will be forced to miss at least the first four games of the 2025 campaign as he continues his recovery from the torn left patellar tendon he sustained in the Eagles' wild-card win over the Packers in January. The 24-year-old took a massive step forward in his third NFL season, compiling 128 total tackles (80 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also adding an interception, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries over 15 regular-season contests in 2024. Once healthy, Dean figures to start alongside Zack Baun at interior linebacker.
