Making Sense Of the Eagles Inactives

Jason Peters (back) is inactive for the Eagles today, meaning Lane Johnson will start at left tackle and Dennis Kelly will play right tackle for the second straight week.

Thad Lewis, Jerome Couplin, Kenjon Barner, Emmanuel Acho, Josh Andrews and Brandon Bair are also inactive. That means Nelson Agholor is available for the first time since Week 5, although Josh Huff will start.

With Peters and Andrews inactive, Tanner Hawkinson and Julian Vandervelde are the backup offensive lineman. Malcolm Jenkins is active after suffering a concussion versus Dallas last week.

As for the Dolphins, Brent Grimes, Spencer Paysinger, Sam Brenner, Ulrick John, Ja’Wuan James, Matt Hazel and Brandon Williams are inactive. Grimes, a starting cornerback, wasn’t listed on the injury report Friday while James is typically Miami’s starting right tackle.
