Eagles Activate Nakobe Dean for Week 6, Elevate DT Gabe Hall With Jalen Carter Questionable

Vic Fangio signals a limited return for the linebacker after nine months out.

Overview

  • Philadelphia moved Nakobe Dean from reserve/PUP to the 53-man roster ahead of Thursday night’s game against the Giants, and he is listed as questionable to play.
  • Dean’s activation marks his first potential game action since a January patellar-tendon tear, with coaches planning a smaller initial workload focused on depth and special teams.
  • The Eagles also temporarily elevated defensive tackle Gabe Hall from the practice squad after Jalen Carter appeared on the final injury report with a heel injury and was designated questionable.
  • If Carter cannot go, the defensive tackle rotation would feature Jordan Davis, Moro Ojomo, Byron Young, Ty Robinson, and Hall.
  • NFL rules allow up to three regular-season practice-squad elevations per player before a team must add the player to the active roster.
