The Philadelphia Eagles activated Nakobe Dean’s 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve, according to an official team announcement on Tuesday afternoon.
Dean was placed on IR after suffering a foot injury 49 snaps in to the Eagles’ Week 1 game against the New England Patriots. He was required to miss four games before being eligible to return.
Just because Dean’s window was activated doesn’t necessarily guarantee will play in Week 6. The Eagles will probably want to see how he progresses in practice this week before activating him to the roster or not ahead of Saturday’s 4:00 PM deadline.
