Dean (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Dean missed two straight games to close out the regular season, but the starting linebacker appears back to full health and ready to return to action for Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the 49ers. Across 10 regular-season appearances in 2025, Dean tallied 55 tackles (30 solo), including a career-high 4.0 sacks, plus one pass defensed and two forced fumbles.

Dean (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Dean has missed consecutive weeks due to a hamstring injury, so his ability to get back on the practice field is a great sign for his chances to play in Sunday's wild-card matchup with the 49ers. If the linebacker can suit up, rookie Jihaad Campbell will likely see a reduced number of defensive snaps in Sunday's game.

Dean (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Dean was unable to practice throughout Week 18, making it consecutive weeks that the linebacker has been unable to get on the practice field. The 25-year-old will now miss consecutive contests due to a hamstring injury, and it is unclear if he will be able to play in the Eagles' first playoff matchup. With Jaelan Phillips (ankle) also ruled out for Sunday's game, Jalyx Hunt, Brandon Graham and Joshua Uche may see a significant increase in defensive snaps for the Eagles' linebacker corps alongside starters Zack Baun and Nolan Smith.

Dean (hamstring) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Dean was injured in Week 16 and missed last Sunday's win over the Bills. He's in danger of missing a second straight contest ahead of the postseason. Jihaad Campbell, Jeremiah Trotter and Smael Mondon are next up at linebacker for the Eagles.

Dean (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

EDGE Analysis

Dean was unable to play against the Bills in Week 17 due to a hamstring injury he picked up in Week 16 against the Commanders. He has two more chances to log a practice ahead of Sunday's game against Washington, though he may be held out as a precaution as Philadelphia gears up for a postseason run as the defending Super Bowl champions.

Dean (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Dean has yet to resume practicing since suffering a hamstring injury Week 16 versus Washington, and he'll be unable to suit up for Sunday's matchup against Buffalo. As long as Dean remains unavailable, rookie first-round pick Jihaad Campbell will stand to step into a starting role on defense for the Eagles.

Dean (hamstring) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dean hurt his hamstring Saturday against Washington and wasn't able to finish the game. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio described the fourth-year linebacker as "iffy" Tuesday, so Dean's DNP to begin the week doesn't necessarily mean he isn't going to play Sunday against Buffalo. However, his ability to suit up is very much up in the air, and Jihaad Campbell would likely move into a starting role if the Dean is sidelined against the Bills.

Dean (hamstring) appears to have a chance to play this week, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said that Dean is "iffy this week," which is a sign the linebacker could play in Sunday's game against the Bills. The 25-year-old was unable to return to last Saturday's win over the Commanders due to the hamstring injury, and the final decision about his chances to suit up Sunday likely depend on this week's practice participation levels.

Dean (hamstring) has been downgraded to out for Saturday's divisional matchup against the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Dean was initially forced off the field in the first quarter due to a hamstring injury. With Dean done for the day, increased defensive snaps will be allotted to Jeremiah Trotter and Smael Mondon.

Dean (hamstring) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Dean picked up a hamstring injury during the first quarter of Saturday's divisional matchup, making his return uncertain. Jeremiah Trotter and Smael Mondon will benefit from expanded roles on defense as long as Dean remains sidelined.
