Who Should I Start? Nakobe Dean or David Ojabo

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) had surgery last week to fix his partially torn ACL, according to head coach John Harbaugh. The hope is that Ojabo is fine and good to go for the start of training camp next summer. The 23-year-old second-round pick in 2022 out of Michigan played in just three games (one start) this year before going down with the season-ending knee injury, and he's played in only five games in his first two NFL seasons due to the injury bug. Ojabo will once again close out the year on Injured Reserve, while veteran Kyle Van Noy and rookie Tavius Robinson serve as linebacking depth for the Ravens the rest of the season.
