The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced two roster moves ahead of their Week 6 Thursday Night Football game against the New York Giants. An overview: • LB Nakobe Dean was activated from reserve/physically unable to perform to the active roster. • DT Gabe Hall was temporarily elevated from the practice squad.
Note: teams can temporarily promote practice squad players up to three times each in the regular season and an unlimited number of times in the postseason.
Let’s sort through this news on a player-by-player basis.
NAKOBE DEAN
Dean was officially ruled questionable to play on the final injury report but previous reporting indicated the Eagles would activate him. This marks the first game Dean will play in since suffering a significant knee injury about nine full months ago.
