Limited role in season debut Dean played six snaps on special teams in Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.
Impact Dean made his season debut after recovering from a torn left patellar tendon. The Eagles seemingly eased him into action, and he should eventually return to at least a partial role alongside fellow linebackers Zack Baun and rookie Jihaad Campbell.

All set for Week 6 Dean (knee) is active for Thursday night's matchup with the Giants.
Impact Dean will make his season debut after missing the first five games of the year while recovering from a torn left patellar tendon that he suffered in January. The linebacker recorded 128 total tackles (80 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also adding an interception, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries over 15 regular-season games last year.

Activated from PUP list Thursday Dean (knee) was activated from the reserve/PUP list Thursday.
Impact Dean's activation makes him eligible to play Thursday night against the Giants, though he's still listed as questionable. A determination on his status will likely be made around 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 8:15 ET kickoff. He has yet to make his 2025 season debut after recording 128 tackles in a breakout 2024 regular season.

Could return Thursday Dean (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Giants.
Impact The Georgia product logged another full practice Wednesday but must still be activated to the Eagles' active roster in order to play Thursday night. If Dean is activated in time for the Week 6 divisional matchup, he's likely to serve as Philadelphia's top reserve inside linebacker, playing behind Zack Baun and rookie Jihaad Campbell.

Impact Dean has been slowly working his way back from a torn left patellar tendon that he suffered in the postseason, and he has now logged back-to-back full participations dating back to Friday's injury report. The linebacker will have two more chances to officially log another full practice before Thursday's matchup with the Giants.

Won't be activated for Week 5 Dean (knee) will not be activated from the reserve/PUP list for Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact The Georgia product was a limited participant in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but he'll remain out for the Week 5 contest. Dean had an impressive 2024 campaign, tallying 128 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and four passes defended over 15 regular-season games. While he remains sidelined, expect Jihaad Campbell and Zack Baun to start in the Eagles' inside-linebacker corps.

Limited on Wednesday Dean (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Dean was designated for return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window. He said he feels he can "fully go" now after suffering a torn patellar tendon in the Eagles' wild-card playoff win back in January. However, Dean's role is unclear upon his return, considering the presence of Zack Baun and Jihaad Campbell at linebacker for the Eagles.

Designated to return Dean (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday.
Impact The 2022 third-round pick out of Georgia has missed Philadelphia's opening four games this season due to a knee injury sustained in a wild-card win over the Packers in January. He now has 21 days to be added to the Eagles' active roster before reverting to the reserve/PUP list. It's unclear whether Dean will reclaim his starting spot once healthy, as rookie linebacker Jihaad Campbell has impressed through his first four games as a pro.
OCTOBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Closing in on return Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said Tuesday that Dean (knee) will return to practice "either this week or next," Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Impact Dean opened the season on the reserve/PUP list while continuing to recover from a torn left patellar tendon that he suffered during the Eagles' NFC wild-card win over the Packers in January. He's eligible to have his practice window open this week, and once that happens, the Eagles will have 21 days to reinstate Dean from the PUP list. The 2022 third-round pick is still viewed as a long shot to play in the Eagles' Week 5 clash against the Broncos on Sunday, but he could be available for Week 6 against the Giants on Oct. 9.
