Eagles-Colts inactives: Corey Clement in, Alshon Jeffery out, Josh Sweat and Josh Adams to debut

Running back Corey Clement is active for the Eagles on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts and Alshon Jeffery will miss his third game of the season while recovering from offseason rotator cuff surgery. Jeffery is inactive on Sunday even though he was listed as questionable. Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Jeffery has not yet been cleared for contact.

In addition to Jeffery, the Eagles will miss running backs Jay Ajayi and Darren Sproles; offensive linemen Jordan Mailata, Matt Pryor, and Chance Warmack; and quarterback Nate Sudfeld. Ajayi and Sproles were announced out on Friday.

Running back Josh Adams and defensive end Josh Sweat are making their Eagles debuts. Adams is part of the running back trio led by Clement, who is expected to start. Wendell Smallwood is also in the mix. Sweat is active as the sixth defensive end for the first time.

Wide receiver Jordan Matthews, who was signed on Wednesday, is active on Sunday. The Eagles wide receivers are Nelson Agholor, Kamar Aiken, Shelton Gibson, and Matthews.

With Carson Wentz starting at quarterback, Nick Foles becomes the No. 2 quarterback and Sudfeld is inactive.

The three inactive offensive linemen have been on the bench all season.
