Philadelphia almost lost the heart of its defense after Nakobe Dean suffered a devastating patellar tendon tear during the nail-biting playoff win over the Green Bay Packers. It was Dean’s second major lower-body injury—and many doubted he’d ever return to his peak.
But Philly’s iron will doesn’t break. All season, Dean has pushed through rehab, even taking up ballet to boost his flexibility and explosiveness! He’s fought every day, even when defensive coordinator Vic Fangio admitted: “Dean will be out for quite a while.”
Then, Eagles social media went wild after a stunning video surfaced: Dean stepping up onto a platform with over 200 pounds on his shoulders, proving his left knee is regaining its strength. The clip doesn’t show everything, but one thing’s certain—No. 17 refuses to back down!
Looking back at 2024, Dean was a defensive beast: 128 tackles (80 solo), 3 sacks, 9 tackles for loss, 6 QB hits, and an interception in 15 games. He was the soul of Philly’s top-tier defense and a key factor in the Eagles’ historic Super Bowl LIX triumph—crushing the Chiefs 40-22!
Now, the burning question: When will Dean truly return to the field? Eagles fans are on the edge of their seats.
Meanwhile, young stars Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Zack Baun are carrying most of the first-team reps, while the Eagles are also considering Smael Mondon Jr.—another product of the Georgia Bulldogs.
