The Philadelphia Eagles have officially announced the inactives list for their Week 3 game against the Indianapolis Colts.
The following players have been ruled OUT: Jay Ajayi, Alshon Jeffery, Darren Sproles, Nate Sudfeld, Matt Pryor, Jordan Mailata, and Chance Warmack.
Ajayi and Sproles were ruled out on the final injury report. Neither player was able to participate in practice this week. The good news is that Corey Clement WILL play despite being ruled questionable on Friday. He figures to receive a bulk of Philadelphia’s running back touches. Wendell Smallwood and Josh Adams (making his NFL debut) are the only two active running backs behind Clement.
Jeffery was ruled questionable heading into this week’s game but it was never expected that he’d play. It seems like he could be poised to return in Week 4. In the meantime, the Eagles only have Nelson Agholor, Kamar Aiken, Shelton Gibson, and Jordan Matthews active at wide receiver.
Jason Peters is ACTIVE despite being ruled questionable on the final injury report. Not a surprise considering he said he’d play and Doug Pederson expected him to suit up as well. The question is: how long will Peters be able to remain in the game? He had to come out early against the Bucs last week.
Sudfeld is back to being inactive as the third string quarterback now that Carson Wentz is back. Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles is Wentz’s backup, of course.
Pryor, Mailata, and Warmack have been inactive for all three games so far. Reminder that Warmack is carrying a $2 million cap hit.
Josh Sweat is active for the first time in his NFL career.
