In his place, the Eagles have turned to veteran backup Oren Burks. Fellow starting linebacker Zack Baun now has the green dot on his helmet to relay play calls.
While Baun was an All-Pro this season, the Eagles got really solid play out of Dean in 2024 in his third NFL season. Dean was second on the team in tackles with 128 and also had 9 tackles for loss, 6 QB hits, 4 pass breakups and an interception.
Before leaving Sunday’s game, Dean was leading the Eagles in tackles with 6 and had 2 TFLs, including one on his final play of the game.
