• Eagles' Nakobe Dean: Starting season opener

  09/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  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. 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. A 2022 third-round pick, Dean was a touted prospect coming out of Georgia, but he was limited largely to a special-teams role as a rookie, and foot issues limited to just five appearances for the Eagles in 2023.
