With defensive signal caller Dean done for the postseason with a patellar tendon injury, who will step up in Vic Fangio's defense?

PHILADELPHIA - The Eagles are bringing back a familiar face to add depth at linebacker after losing Nakobe Dean to a season-ending knee injury during Sunday's 2

PHILADELPHIA − Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean suffered a significant knee injury in the second quarter Sunday that will keep him out for the rest of the playoffs, and possibly into next season.

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean was carted off the field in the Wild Card game and has now received an unfortunate injury update.

Philadelphia has lost a key leader on their defense and it is up to other stars on the roster to carry the torch.

The Philadelphia Eagles might have to move forward in the playoffs without standout linebacker Nakobe Dean after he injured his left knee in their wild-card game against Green Bay.

The Eagles are preparing for the NFC Divisional round and announced five roster moves on Tuesday, including placing star linebacker Nakobe Dean on injured reserve. Dean was carted off in the second half of Philadelphia’s 22-10 win over the Packers in the wild-card round.

The Eagles hold a 10-0 lead over the Packers, but they are taking hits on the defensive side of the football. Darius Slay exited with an elbow injury, but he looks to be returning to the game. Still, one of their most important defenders, Nakobe Dean, could be lost for this game and potentially longer.

Morrow was a starting linebacker for the Eagles in 2023, and not a good one. His addition does make sense with Dean going on IR, but the Eagles would need further injury carnage at linebacker for Morrow to see the field in the regular defense.
