Eagles expect Nakobe Dean to play this week
Our Summary
Linebacker Nakobe Dean is expected to return for the Philadelphia Eagles' game against the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday after missing the last two regular-season games due to a hamstring injury. Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio confirmed Dean's anticipated availability during a press conference. Earlier in the season, Dean was sidelined for the first five games while recovering from a knee injury sustained in last season's playoffs. In the 10 games he played, Dean started eight and recorded 55 tackles, four sacks, and two forced fumbles. Additionally, the Eagles are likely to have right tackle Lane Johnson back at practice, potentially strengthening both their offense and defense.
