Listed as DNP Wednesday
Dean (abdomen) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice estimate.
Analysis: Dean pooped up on the injury report Wednesday after having racked up 12 tackles (six solo) during the team's Week 16 loss versus the Commanders. If he ends up being unable to play Sunday versus the Cowboys, Jeremiah Trotter would likely get the start at inside linebacker alongside Zack Baun in Dean's place.

Dean recorded 12 total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 36-33 loss to the Commanders.

Past groin injury
Dean (groin) was a full practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Dean was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, but that didn't hold him back during Thursday's session.

Estimated as DNP
Dean (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Analysis: Dean played 40 defensive snaps and recorded six total tackles in Sunday's blowout win over the Cowboys; however, Monday's estimated DNP suggests he picked up a groin injury in the process.

Seals win with pick

Starting season opener
Dean is expected to serve as a starter at inside linebacker in the Eagles' season opener Friday versus the Packers in Brazil, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Though Devin White signed a one-year deal with the Eagles over the offseason and is an experienced option at MIKE linebacker spot, McLane relays that Dean beat White out for the starting role during the preseason. White will end up missing the Eagles' season opener Friday due to an ankle injury, so Dean will have the opportunity to build security as a starter with a strong showing versus the Packers.

Overcomes foot issue
Dean (foot) was a full participant in OTAs on Wednesday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Dean had an injury-riddled 2023 season, headlined by a foot issue that forced him to miss the final seven games of the campaign. Now that he's back on the field and participating fully in OTAs, Dean looks to be back to full strength. Across his two seasons in the NFL, Dean has appeared in 22 games and tallied 43 total tackles while playing 216 defensive snaps.

Nearing return
Dean (foot) said Thursday that he's been out of his walking boot since February, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Dean has been dealing with a foot injury that forced him to miss Philadelphia's final seven games last season, but it sounds like he could be returning to the field soon. Dean logged 30 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks throughout his five appearances in 2023, and the 23-year-old is expected to remain one of the Philadelphia's top inside linebackers once his recovery from Lisfranc surgery is complete.

Still in boot, could return by OTAs
Dean said Wednesday that he still has three weeks left of wearing a walking boot after having Lisfranc surgery on his left foot, and it remains to be seen whether he will be healthy in time to participate in OTAs, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Dean didn't play after Week 10 due to the injury. Even if he isn't available by OTAs, the 2022 third-round draft pick should be healthy well before the start of the 2024 season. After playing primarily on special teams as a rookie, Dean started at linebacker in four of his five appearances in 2023.

Likely to be placed on IR
Dean (foot) was diagnosed Wednesday with a Lisfranc sprain and likely will be placed on injured reserve, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Eagles have no reason to rush placing Dean on IR heading into a bye week, as such a transaction would rule the linebacker out for at least the next four games. He's seeing a foot specialist to determine a course of action, with the most likely outcome being a stint on IR that would rule him out through Week 14.

Dean is expected to miss multiple weeks due to the foot injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Patriots, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Dean recorded seven tackles (four solo) before exiting with the injury. In a separate tweet, Rapoport speculated the second-year-pro may be headed to IR, which would make sense if a multi-game absence is expected. The specifics of the Georgia product's injury are still mostly unknown, outside of the fact he was sporting a walking boot after the game.

Day-to-day with ankle injury
Dean (ankle) isn't practicing Friday, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Dean is listed as day-to-day, so his absence is unlikely to be an extended one. It wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out the Aug. 12 preseason opener against the Ravens, even if Dean is fully recovered by then, as the 2022 third-round pick is slated to move into a starting linebacker spot after being used in a reserve role as a rookie.

Preparing for more significant role
Dean is adjusting to his new role as the starting middle linebacker, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Dean only played 33 snaps on defense last season, although he was a regular on the team's special-teams unit. Now in his second season and in the wake of the departures of T.J. Edwards and Kyzir White, Dean will see a significant shift in responsibilities. Not only will he see the field much more frequently, but he'll also be taking on play-calling duties as the MIKE linebacker in the Eagles' defense.

Dean said Wednesday that he anticipates playing more during the upcoming season than he did as a rookie in 2022, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: A third-round pick last spring, Dean took 340 snaps on special teams but only 34 on defense while playing behind a trio of linebackers (T.J. Edwards, Kyzir White, Haason Reddick) that all played 17 games. Edwards and White signed elsewhere this offseason, leaving nearly 2,000 off-ball-linebacker snaps that likely will be filled by some combination of Dean, seventh-year pro Nicholas Morrow and rookie first-round pick Nolan Smith.

Non-factor as rookie
Dean appeared in all 17 of the Eagles' regular-season contests and posted 13 tackles across 670 total snaps (33 on defense).
Analysis: The third-round pick out of Georgia operated mostly as a special-teams contributor during his first NFL campaign. If T.J. Edwards opts to leave in free agency this summer, Dean could step into a starting role at linebacker in Year 2. However, if Edwards re-signs, Dean may once again be on the outside looking in for regular snaps on defense.

Dean recorded six tackles (five solo) and one pass defensed in Sunday's 35-10 victory over the Titans.
Analysis: Dean had not recorded more than one tackle in any other game this season, so this was certainly his most impactful outing. He was only on the field for 15 snaps (27 percent) but actually recorded five of his tackles during that span. The 21-year-old also was on the field for all 23 special-teams plays.
