The Philadelphia Eagles have signed linebacker Nicholas Morrow back to the practice squad following the season-ending injury of Nakobe Dean, who suffered a torn patellar tendon during the Wild Card Weekend win over Green Bay. Morrow, who has previous experience with the Eagles, started 12 games last season and adds valuable depth to the linebacker position.
Dean's injury occurred in the second quarter, prompting the Eagles to adjust their defensive lineup. Veteran Oren Burks stepped in, while All-Pro Zack Baun assumed a leadership role. Coach Vic Fangio hinted at a potential rotation between Burks and rookie Jeremiah Trotter Jr. for the upcoming Divisional Round game against the Los Angeles Rams.
