This opens a three-week window for him to practice with the team before he has to be added to the active roster. He’s recovering from a torn patellar tendon suffered in January, so he might not be activated right away.

The Eagles also signed DL Antwuan Powell-Ryland to the practice squad.

Dean, 24, was a two-year starter at Georgia and was a unanimous All-American selection, earned first-team All-SEC honors, and won the Butkus Award as the nation’s top linebacker in 2021.

The Eagles selected Dean in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He signed a four-year rookie deal worth $5,186,894, including a signing bonus of $952,286.

In 2024, Dean appeared in 15 games for the Eagles and recorded 128 total tackles, nine tackles for loss, three sacks, one forced fumble, two recoveries, one interception, and four pass deflections.
