Nakobe Dean suffered a torn patellar tendon during the Eagles’ wild-card win over the Packers Sunday.
Nakobe Dean suffered a torn patellar tendon during the Eagles’ wild-card win over the Packers Sunday and faces an extended rehab that will likely sideline him into the 2025 season, a league source confirmed to NBC Sports Philadelphia. The news was first reported by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport.
Dean, the Eagles’ 3rd-round pick in 2022, was a deep backup and special teamer as a rookie and missed most of last year with a foot injury that required offseason surgery.He had three sacks, a game-clinching interception, 128 tackles, nine tackles for loss, six quarterback hits, four pass defenses, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in the regular season and two more tackles for loss Sunday in 23 snaps before the injury.
“Playing for him out there,” Burks said. “He’s been our leader all year, just commanding accountability from the top down. Going to miss him.”
