Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nolan Smith was excited to compete in the NFC divisional game vs. the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, but he made sure to show support to his fellow linebacker Nakobe Dean, who had to miss the game due to injury.
Dean suffered a season-ending knee injury vs. the Green Bay Packers last week. Before he was carted off the field, Dean had totaled six tackles and two tackles for loss in the wild-card game. Dean's injury was a big blow to the Eagles' defense.
