PHILADELPHIA - The Eagles are bringing back a familiar face to add depth at linebacker after losing Nakobe Dean to a season-ending knee injury during Sunday's 2

With Oren Burks likely to assume the starting linebacker role and Jeremiah Trotter Jr. expected to see more playing time in Dean’s absence, the Eagles not only need experienced depth in case of further injuries within the position group but also someone to fill key special teams assignments.

The Philadelphia Eagles signed linebacker Nicholas Morrow to the practice squad on Tuesday following Nakobe Dean's season-ending injury. The team also placed Dean on injured reserve. Dean suffered a torn patellar tendon in his knee in Philadelphia's 22-10 win over the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round of the playoffs on Sunday.

Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni scolded those who may question A.J. Brown's behavior after the All-Pro wide receiver was seen reading a self-help book during the team's playoff victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

A.J. Brown had a novel idea to pass time on the bench during Philadelphia’s wild-card playoff game. The Eagles wide receiver passed on the playbook and checked out an inspirational title — Brown casually ignored the action on the field and flipped through the pages of “Inner Excellence” by Jim Murphy.
