Eagles fear Nakobe Dean will miss rest of playoffs with knee injury

If the Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl, it appears they will have to do so without linebacker Nakobe Dean.

The Eagles fear Dean’s knee injury will keep him out of the playoffs, according to the NFL Network.

Dean was scheduled for an MRI today to get a full diagnosis, but the injury looked bad 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 in the regular season. He will be a big loss for their defense as they prepare for a divisional round game against the winner of tonight’s game between the Vikings and the Rams.
