"Dean injured his hamstring in last week's game against the Washington Commanders. He has been a difference-maker in the middle of Vic Fangio's defense. The run defense ranks 10th in success rate (59.7%) since he returned to the starting lineup from a torn patellar tendon Week 8. Prior to that, it ranked 24th (50%). Rookie Jihaad Campbell will get the nod in Dean's absence."
"Campbell, a first-round pick out of Alabama, has started eight games this season and has 63 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble on the year. The Eagles will face a potent Bills attack that ranks No. 1 in rushing (158.9 ypg). Johnson, a six-time Pro Bowler, has been sidelined since exiting a Week 11 game against the Detroit Lions with a Lisfranc injury. Seven-year veteran Fred Johnson has filled in at right tackle in his absence."
