Dean (abdomen) was a limited participant in practice Thursday. Dean was estimated as a non-participant Wednesday, though the Eagles didn't actually hold a practice that day. His LP status Thursday therefore represents an upgrade, but his likelihood of playing Sunday against Dallas remains in question. Dean has been a tackle machine of late, recording double-digit stops in each of his past four contests.

Dean (abdomen) was a limited participant in practice Thursday. Dean was estimated as a non-participant Wednesday, though the Eagles didn't actually hold a practice that day. His LP status Thursday therefore represents an upgrade, but his likelihood of playing Sunday against Dallas remains in question. Dean has been a tackle machine of late, recording double-digit stops in each of his past four contests.
Dean (abdomen) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice estimate. Dean pooped up on the injury report Wednesday after having racked up 12 tackles (six solo) during the team's Week 16 loss versus the Commanders. If he ends up being unable to play Sunday versus the Cowboys, Jeremiah Trotter would likely get the start at inside linebacker alongside Zack Baun in Dean's place.
Dean recorded 12 total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 36-33 loss to the Commanders. The Georgia product has now tallied double-digit stops in five of his last six games, accumulating 62 total tackles during that span. Dean has had an impressive campaign in his first full season as a starter, ranking second on the Eagles' defense in total tackles (128) and third in both tackles for loss (nine) and interceptions (one) over 15 appearances. He's expected to remain one of Philadelphia's top inside linebackers, starting alongside Zack Baun in the Week 17 matchup against the Cowboys.
Dean finished this past Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers with 10 tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble. Dean has reached double-digit combined tackles six times, four of which have come over the past five regular-season games. He's now up to 116 tackles (74 solo), including 3.0 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries across 14 games. The 2022 third-round pick will look to add to his total during Sunday's NFC East clash against the Commanders.
Dean recorded 12 tackles (nine solo) during Sunday's 22-16 win versus the Panthers. Dean managed double-digit tackles for the second straight game in Week 14, and he has now posted 10-plus tackles in five contests this season. He also eclipsed 100 tackles on the year with Sunday's performance. He'll be looking to keep adding to his career-best campaign in Week 15 versus the Steelers.
Dean recorded 10 tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 24-19 win at Baltimore. Dean played 69 of the Eagles' 71 defensive snaps in Week 13, and he came away with a double-digit tackle total for the fourth time this season. He's in the midst of a breakout season and profiles as a strong IDP option for when Philadelphia hosts the Panthers in Week 14.
Dean recorded eight tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for a loss, and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams. The starting inside linebacker dealt with a groin injury during the practice week leading up to the game but was a full participant by Thursday's session. Dean, a 2022 third-round pick, continued his career-best season with his big night: He now has 84 tackles (53 solo), including 3.0 sacks, four pass breakups, including an interception, and two fumble recoveries in 2024.
Dean (groin) was a full practice participant Thursday. Dean was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, but that didn't hold him back during Thursday's session. Barring any setbacks, the 2022 third-round pick should be good to go against the Rams on Sunday. In the six regular-season games since the Eagles' Week 5 bye, Dean has logged 50 tackles (31 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery.
Dean (groin) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report. Dean played through a groin injury during the Eagles' Week 11 win over the Commanders, during which he tallied 10 tackles (eight solo) and a pass defensed. The 2022 third-round pick will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.
