The Eagles received some good news this week when Nakobe Dean returned to practice after missing four games with a foot injury.
Dean had his 21-day practice window activated, and he logged a whole week of practice.
Still, after two solid outings that included a three-sack performance against Washington, Nicholas Morrow will wear the green dot and start at middle linebacker.
#Eagles LB Nicholas Marrow is wearing the green dot and will start at MIKE even though Nakobe Dean is back. Looks like Zach Cunningham will start alongside Morrow, as well, based off warm-ups.

Zach Cunningham took first-team reps during the warm-ups at the weakside linebacker spot, and it appears the rotation will remain intact, with defensive coordinator Sean Desai rolling with the hot hand, as Philadelphia leads the NFL in run defense.
