Eagles starting linebacker Nakobe Dean left the team’s Week 1 game against the New England Patriots near the end of the third quarter and entered the injury tent after suffering an apparent foot injury. After being looked at by the Eagles trainers, Dean was taken back to the locker room for further evaluation.

Dean had seven tackles (four solo) before leaving and had been a key part of the Philadelphia rush defense, although his pass coverage still might need to be refined a bit.
