If the Eagles want to win the Super Bowl, it appears they will have to do so without linebacker Nakobe Dean.
The Eagles fear Dean’s knee injury could keep him out for the rest of the playoffs, according to NFL Network.
Dean is scheduled to have an MRI today to get a full diagnosis, but the injury appeared serious and the Eagles quickly ruled him out of Sunday’s game against the Packers.
Dean started 15 games and was second on the team with 128 tackles during the regular season. This will be a big loss for their defense as they prepare for a divisional matchup against the winner of tonight’s game between the Vikings and Rams.
