Nakobe Dean Nearing Return

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean (foot) was activated from the injured reserve list on Tuesday. Dean had his 21-day practice window opened up, and he'll be able to return to game action as soon as this week. The young linebacker has been out since suffering a foot injury in Philadelphia's season opener against the New England Patriots. It remains to be seen if he will suit up in Week 6 against the New York Jets. But his return to play is on the horizon, which would give the Eagles an added boost on defense.
