PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles might have to move forward in the playoffs without standout linebacker Nakobe Dean after he injured his left knee in their wild-card game against Green Bay. Dean could be seen using crutches and with his left leg in a brace after the Eagles beat the Packers 22-10 to advance to the divisional round. Dean limped off the field in the second quarter, was carted off the field and quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game. The Packers lost two of their top three receivers and two starting offensive linemen in the loss that ended their season.
