LANDOVER, Md. -- Eagles cornerback Leodis McKelvin is inactive for Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins because of a hamstring injury.

McKelvin was questionable after practicing on Friday and tested the injury before the game, but the decision was made to keep him among the seven inactives.

The other inactives are wide receiver Bryce Treggs, defensive end Steven Means, cornerback C.J. Smith, and offensive linemen Josh Andrews, Dillon Gordon, and Isaac Seumalo.

Ron Brooks will start at cornerback, but Jalen Mills will play a big role. The Eagles have only three active cornerbacks, making it a curious decision to keep Smith on the bench. But they have five safeties active and can move Malcolm Jenkins to cornerback and play Jaylen Watkins at safety, if needed.

Halapoulivaati Vaitai is active for the first time this season and will start at right tackle.
