Who Should I Start? Nakobe Dean or David Ojabo

Wednesday, November 8, 2:45 PM

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean (foot) has been diagnosed with a Lisfranc sprain. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, the second-year defender will see a foot specialist to determine the steps of his recovery, but he is expected to be placed on Injured Reserve. Dean called signals for the Eagles' defense to begin the season. He has played in five games this season, posting 30 total tackles and half of a sack. The 2022 second-round pick is now likely to miss at least the next four games. Nicholas Morrow should see extra playing time in his absence.

Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker David Ojabo (knee) suffered a partially torn ACL in Week 3 of last season, but he is expected to be a full participant at some point in training camp later this summer. The 2022 second-round pick suffered a torn Achilles in the pre-draft process leading up to the 2022 NFL Draft, or he likely would've been a first-rounder. Through two NFL seasons, he has accumulated seven total tackles, two sacks, and two forced fumbles in just five games. Hopefully, he can stay healthy in 2024 and show what he can do as at least a situational pass-rusher.
