Nakobe Dean
The Eagles initial 53-man roster is set and, as always, there are a few surprises for the fans to see making the list.
It’ll be a tough job to figure out who the team needs to keep on their 53-man and who might be able to slip through to the practice squad.
Dean will hit the injured reserve list and miss a minimum of eight weeks in his first season playing significant defensive snaps.
The Birds will once again be without the sophomore linebacker that they’ve entrusted to call the plays for the defense.
Linebacker promotions as Birds move Nicholas Morrow to the 53-man and officially signing Rashaan Evans as they place Nakobe Dean on IR.
The Eagles only got about half a game out of Dean as the starter before he was forced to leave the field with an injury.
The 2022-23 Eagles took the field for the first time in a competitive match Friday night and there was plenty to takeaway.
