Eagles vs. Colts Final Injury Report: Alshon Jeffery and Corey Clement among players ruled questionable

The Philadelphia Eagles released their third and final official injury report on Friday in advance of their Week 3 home game against the Indianapolis Colts.The following two Eagles players have been ruled out: Jay Ajayi and Darren Sproles. Neither running back participated in practice this week. Ajayi is dealing with a back injury he suffered in Week 2 while Sproles is still recovering from a hamstring injury that occurred during practice last week. With Ajayi and Sproles out Womens Jake Elliott Jersey , the Eagles’ backfield is down to just Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood, and Josh Adams. Making matters worse for the Eagles is that Clement was added to the injury report on Friday with a quad issue. The good news is that the Inquirer is reporting Clement should be OK for Sunday’s game. Otherwise, being down to just Smallwood and Adams is really bad. In either case, I think it’s fair to expect the Eagles to throw the ball a lot on Sunday.Interestingly enough, Alshon Jeffery has not been ruled out for this week’s game; he’s questionable. It still doesn’t seem like he’s likely to play considering he was limited in practice all week and Doug Pederson said he still hasn’t been cleared for contact. But the fact he at least has a chance to play is encouraging and bodes well for his status moving forward. Assuming Jeffery CAN’T play, the Eagles will be down to just Nelson Agholor Authentic Cameron Johnston Jersey , Kamar Aiken, Shelton Gibson, and Jordan Matthews at wide receiver. In other words, the Eagles will be without three of their top four receivers. Not ideal!I found Pederson’s comment about JMatt on Friday kind of interesting:Not exactly effusive praise there.Moving on, Jason Peters has also been ruled questionable to play. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday. Both Pederson and then Peters himself have said he’s going to play this weekend. Hopefully he’ll be able to stay in the game unlike last week.Kamu Grugier-Hill is questionable to play after being added to the injury report on Friday. The Eagles’ special teams captain and weakside linebacker is dealing with a groin issue. Hopefully he’ll be ready. Last, but certainly not least, Carson Wentz was not listed on the report which means he’s officially good to go for Sunday. Great to know that No. 11 will be back under center on Sunday.PHILADELPHIA EAGLES INJURY REPORT (FRIDAY)OUT RB Jay Ajayi (back)RB Darren Sproles (groin)QUESTIONABLEWR Alshon Jeffery (shoulder)OT Jason Peters (quad)LB Kamu Grugier-Hill (groin)RB Corey Clement (quad)...RESERVE/PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO PERFORMS Chris MaragosRESERVE/NON-FOOTBALL INJURYDT Timmy JerniganRESERVE/INJUREDCB Elie BoukaWR Mack HollinsCB D.J.

Hassan Ridgeway and Quincy Wilson were also ruled out. Wilson is a key role player for the Colts who has played 71.4% of the team’s snaps so far.Indy’s pass protection takes a hit with Castonzo and Doyle, a blocking tight end who played 95% of the Colts’ offensive snaps through the first two weeks, both missing this game. The Eagles’ defensive line should have ample opportunities to win up front and create pressure on Andrew Luck with Le’Raven Clark and Joe Haeg starting at the offensive tackle positions. Starting safety Clayton Geathers is listed as questionable. He sat out on Wednesday and practiced in full on Thursday but ended up not practicing again on Friday. Weird week for him. Bad news for the Colts’ secondary if he can’t suit up.Wide receiver T.Y. Hilton returned to practice on Friday after sitting out on both Wednesday and Thursday. He’s not listed on the injury report so he’ll be playing, as expected.OUTDT Denico Autry (ankle)OT Anthony Castonzo (hamstring)TE Jack Doyle (hip)RB Marlon Mack (foot, hamstring)DT Hassan Ridgeway (calf)CB Quincy Wilson (concussion)QUESTIONABLES Clayton Geathers (knee Womens Dallas Goedert Jersey , elbow)CB Chris Milton (concussion)...RESERVE/RETIREDOG Jack MewhortRESERVE/SUSPENDED BY COMMISSIONERRB Robert TurbinRESERVE/INJUREDWR Deon CainDT Johnathan CalvinS Chris CooperCB Robert JacksonQB Brad KaayaDL Tyquan LewisS Ronald MartinS Robenson TherezieTE Ross TravisOT J’Marcus WebbWR James WrightHistory suggests Eagles not doomed after 2-2 start It’s only reasonable to be concerned about the outlook of the 2018 Philadelphia Eagles after the team’s disappointing loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 4.This Eagles team has some real issues. The secondary is struggling. The offensive line is failing to adequately protect Carson Wentz. And so on.But if history is any indication, it IS too early to panic. Let’s look back at the last 10 Eagles seasons to put the team’s current 2-2 record in context. Last 10 Eagles seasonsSeasonRecord after four gamesFinal recordPost-seasonSeasonRecord after four gamesFinal recordPost-seasonStarting 3-1 is obviously better than starting 2-2, but it hasn’t always been a great indicator of future success. The Eagles failed to make the playoffs in three out of their last four 3-1 starts. Two of those four seasons failed to produce winning records; the Eagles went 7-9 in 2016 and just 4-12 in 2012. Starting out 2-2, meanwhile, has hardly been a death knell for the Eagles. Here’s a look at how Philadelphia has fared in those situations dating back to the expansion of 16 game seasons in 1978. History of Eagles starting out 2-2SeasonRecord after four gamesFinal recordPost-seasonSeasonRecord after four gamesFinal recordPost-seasonThe Eagles averaged 9.8 wins in their last eight seasons starting out at 2-2. They failed to make the playoffs only once and they made it one game away from the Super Bowl in three of those years.That’s probably a lot more encouraging than you would’ve guessed, right?Of course, just because it’s mostly worked out for the Eagles in the past doesn’t mean it’s going to play out the same way this year. Football Outsiders’ model only gives the Eagles a 41.2% chance to make the playoffs this season. This old chart from FiveThirtyEight shows 2-2 teams generally have a 36% chance of making the post-season. That figure is significantly worse than the 63% of 3-1 teams who make it to January.But while there’s reason to be concerned about the 2018 Eagles Authentic Corey Clement Jersey , there’s also room for optimism. Wentz is healthy and is coming off one of the best games of his career. The Eagles still have six games at Lincoln Financial Field this year, which is significant since they have the best home record in the NFL from the beginning of the 2016 season (17-3).So, it’s like I said earlier. No need to totally freak out just yet.
