Opens week as DNP Dean (hamstring) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday.

Impact Dean hurt his hamstring Saturday against Washington and wasn't able to finish the game. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio described the fourth-year linebacker as "iffy" Tuesday, so Dean's DNP to begin the week doesn't necessarily mean he isn't going to play Sunday against Buffalo. However, his ability to suit up is very much up in the air, and Jihaad Campbell would likely move into a starting role if the Dean is sidelined against the Bills.

Tallies 12 stops in Week 13 loss Dean posted 12 tackles (five solo) and a defensed pass Friday in a loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Dean's tackle total was second-highest on Philadelphia behind Reed Blankenship's 14. It was also by far Dean's best mark of the campaign; previously, his season-high mark had been seven in Week 10 against Green Bay. Dean had posted a sack in three straight contests coming into Friday, and though he couldn't extend that streak, he continues to play well after missing the first five games of the campaign while recovering from a knee injury.
