Nakobe Dean Injury: Not on field to start camp

Dean (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list Wednesday, Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice reports.

Heading into his fourth NFL season, Dean is still recovering from the torn patellar tendon he suffered during Philadelphia's first-round playoff game against the Packers and is the only Eagle to start training camp on the active/PUP list. The 24-year-old had by far his most productive year last season, totaling 128 tackles and 3.0 sacks over 15 regular-season games. However, first-round pick Jihaad Campbell (shoulder) was active and practicing in limited fashion during the first day of training camp, recovering more quickly than expected from a torn labrum he had surgery for in March. With the starting linebackers undetermined, this news could give Campbell some helpful reps early as Dean watches from the sideline.
