Nakobe Dean Expected To Miss Multiple Weeks

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean (foot) is expected to miss multiple weeks with a foot injury that he suffered in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday, according to sources. Dean will not require surgery and should be back with plenty of time to spare in the 2023 season, although a stint on Injured Reserve isn't being ruled out. The 22-year-old was seen wearing a walking boot after the game and could be out through Week 5 in a worst-case scenario. Until Dean is able to return, Christian Elliss and Nolan Smith should see more playing time in the middle of the Eagles defense, starting this Thursday night to kick off Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings.
