Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean is expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks after suffering a right foot injury in the season opener against the New England Patriots. Dean is a candidate for short-term injured reserve but he is not slated to have surgery and the injury is not considered season-ending. With Dean out, the Eagles are signing former Tennessee Titans first-round pick, LB Rashaan Evans, to its practice squad.
