Eagles Open 21-Day Practice Window for Nakobe Dean

The 21-day PUP window now compels a near-term decision on his activation.

Overview

  • Dean returned to the field Wednesday as a limited participant and said he feels ready to fully go.
  • He is working back from a torn left patellar tendon suffered in January’s wild-card win over Green Bay.
  • Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and coach Nick Sirianni were noncommittal on Dean’s role with Zack Baun and rookie Jihaad Campbell playing at a high level.
  • Under PUP rules, Philadelphia has 21 days to activate Dean to the 53-man roster, creating the possibility of a Week 5 return but with timing still to be determined.
  • The Eagles also signed edge rusher Antwuan Powell-Ryland to the practice squad as injuries have thinned depth at the position.
