Nakobe Dean, who finished second on the team during the regular season with 128 stops, was on the injured reserve list after sustaining a knee injury during the Eagles’ Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers.

Mecole Hardman, who had the game-winning touchdown catch in last year’s Super Bowl, was on the Chiefs’ injured reserve list while Malik Herring was also on this year’s Kansas City roster.
