Nakobe Dean injury update: Eagles linebacker could miss beginning of next season

The Eagles advanced to the divisional round of the playoffs, but they’ll be without one of their defensive leaders. Linebacker Nakobe Dean suffered a knee injury on Sunday that is now feared to be a significant. Early reports suggest Dean will miss the rest of the postseason, and could possibly even miss the beginning of the 2025 regular season.

#Eagles LB Nakobe Dean, at the tail end of a breakout season, suffered torn patellar tendon in his knee and is out for the playoffs, per me and @MikeGarafolo.

A tough blow for Philly and for Dean, who has a long road to recovery.
