Eagles Expect LB Nakobe Dean to Return for Wild Card Game vs. 49ers

The Philadelphia Eagles expect linebacker Nakobe Dean to play in Sunday's wild-card game against the 49ers. Dean, who missed the last two games with a hamstring injury suffered on Dec. 20, also missed the first five games of the season recovering from a torn patellar tendon last playoffs. In 10 games this season, he recorded 55 tackles, 4 sacks, 2 forced fumbles, 7 TFLs, 6 QB hits, and a pass breakup, providing a significant boost to the Eagles' run defense and blitzing.
