Colts vs. Eagles: Inactives

The Colts had already announced most of their inactives earlier in the week. But now the Eagles have come out and listed theirs as well.

None of the Colts inactives that were announced were a surprise. Six of them had already been announced. There was only one more that was announced, and it was reserve guard Mark Glowinski. The Eagles on the other hand had some interesting inactives listed.

The most notable inactive was Alshon Jeffery, who was listed as questionable earlier in the week. They also will be without guard Chance Warmack, and running backs Jay Ajayi, Darren Sproles. Having all of those players out in addition to the other receivers who were already inactive leaves the Eagles in a precarious situation.

It is currently raining in Philly. That should mean that both teams will try to keep the ball on the ground more. But with the Eagles being without two running backs, they could have an issue running effectively. They will have to heavily rely on Corey Clement.

The Colts knew who their personnel was going to be for most of this week. They have spent most of the week preparing for this game without all of their key players. They should be pretty well equipped to play this game with the players they have.

These inactives reinforce the fact that this will be a low scoring game. Having players in there that aren’t used to playing doesn’t allow smooth play. It will be up to the defenses to step up and make a play. A big turnover could be the deciding play in the game.

Hopefully all of these players for both teams get healthy quickly and can perform at a high level soon.
