The Athletic's Zach Berman reports that Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nakobe Dean (knee) won't be available for Sunday's matchup with the visiting Denver Broncos. The former Georgia Bulldog returned to practice this week as he continues to ramp up his activity in return from a torn patellar tendon suffered in last season's wild-card round. However, Dean could only practice in a limited fashion as he's not quite yet ready for in-game action. With Philadelphia due for a quick turnaround in Week 6 -- set to take on the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football -- it's unclear if he'll be available then either. For now, rookie Jihaad Campbell will continue to play alongside Zack Baun as Philadelphia's primary linebackers. Teammate Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is the only other Eagles linebacker to record a snap (one).--Alex Ciulla
