The linebacker is optimistic he'll be able to return in Week 6 after suffering a foot injury. What has been a constant is his dedication to community service.

Tuesday, September 19, 2023Nakobe Dean is anxiously awaiting his return to the football field. The Eagles’ second-year linebacker remains on— and he will miss at least three more games — after he suffered a right foot injury during the season opener on Sept. 10.
Dean’s injury occurred near the end of the third quarter of the team’s Week 1 victory over the New England Patriots. With the Patriots facing third-and-21, Mac Jones completed a dumpoff to Demario Douglas in the flat. While Dean attempted to shed a block and pursue the ball carrier, safety Justin Evans collided into him from behind. Dean described that his cleat momentarily caught onto the turf.
“It’s a credit to his character,” Mariota said of Dean. “He’s a young guy, and sometimes players his age are always just trying to make sure you’re in the playbook. With him specifically, young guys are always just trying to stay healthy, especially when they’re hurt. So for him to be here on our off day, giving back to the youth and community, it says a lot about who he is with his stature as a defensive leader on our team. I think this is just the beginning for Nakobe.
