Clement played just 18 of 62 snaps (29 percent) on offense in Sunday's 27-20 loss to Dallas, taking five carries for 13 yards and catching one of two targets for a loss of five yards, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
The snap split was pretty even between Clement, Wendell Smallwood (21) and Josh Adams (19), but only the latter had any success turning his playing time into rushing production. The undrafted rookie took seven carries for 47 yards, while Smallwood caught three passes for 30 yards and added two totes for four yards. Clement hasn't given the Eagles any reason to increase his role ahead of a Week 11 road matchup with the stingy New Orleans run defense.

Clement (illness) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Clement was absent from Thursday's session due to an illness, but the ailment subsided enough for him to practice in full to wrap up Week 10 prep. On the heels of the Eagles' bye week, it'll be interesting to see the breakdown of backfield reps. While Wendell Smallwood has acted as the lead running back for much of the season, Clement has been the preferred handcuff, when healthy. However, in the Eagles' last game Oct. 28, Clement was surpassed by Josh Adams in terms of snaps on offense -- 13 versus 18 -- behind Smallwood's 31 (of 62).

Clement (illness) took part in Friday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clement sat out Thursday's session due to his ailment, but it appears he only needed the lone day off to feel better. It remains to be seen if he will be listed on the Eagles' final injury report of the week, but even if he is, he figures to be available for Sunday's matchup with the Cowboys.

Clement was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice due to an illness, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The nature or severity of Clement's ailment isn't known, but the Eagles will hope that his condition improves enough to fit in some practice time Friday. Assuming the illness doesn't prevent him from playing Sunday against the Cowboys, Clement will likely work as the secondary option in the Eagles' backfield committee behind Wendell Smallwood. Smallwood has outpaced Clement in offensive snap count in each of the Eagles' past three contests.

Clement rushed for six yards on four carries and caught his lone target for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 24-18 win over the Jaguars in London.
EDGE Analysis
Clement has just 27 scrimmage yards over the past two games, while Josh Adams and Wendell Smallwood both exceeded 60 scrimmage yards out of the backfield in this game alone. Jay Ajayi's knee injury created extended opportunities for the rest of Philadelphia's backfield, but Clement hasn't been the one capitalizing on those opportunities in recent weeks. He and the rest of the Eagles will be on bye in Week 9.

Clement carried eight times for six yards and caught two passes for 16 more yards during Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Clement finished just one carry behind Wendell Smallwood for the team lead, but he did next to nothing on the ground as he averaged just 0.8 yards per carry. He hauled in both balls that were thrown his way, but he did little outside of an 11-yard gain and finished with his lowest scrimmage yardage total since Week 1. Clement had made a splash in recent performances and will look to bounce back next Sunday against the Jaguars.

Coach Doug Pederson confirmed Clement would play Thursday against the Giants, Graham Foley of the Eagles' official site reports. It's expected that Clement will see increased snaps for the immediate future with Jay Ajayi (knee) out for the season.
EDGE Analysis
Clement didn't see the field in the Eagles' past two games while he managed a quadriceps injury, but he proved his health by turning in a full practice Tuesday. Thanks to his versatility he provides as a between-the-tackles runner and pass catcher, Clement should be in store for an enhanced workload sans Ajayi, though fellow back Wendell Smallwood will also benefit. It's possible that Smallwood ends up starting and assumes more snaps of the two in Week 6 while Clement returns from injury on a short week, but Clement may represent the better long-term fantasy option, given that he's still listed atop the depth chart. Darren Sproles (hamstring) will also factor into the backfield mix once he returns to action, perhaps as soon as Week 7 against the Panthers.

Clement (quadriceps) indicated Tuesday that he will play in Thursday's game against the Giants, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Jay Ajayi (ACL) lost for the season and Darren Sproles' status up in the air, Clement could be contending with Wendell Smallwood and possibly Josh Adams for carries during Thursday's matchup with the Giants. Clement's estimated full participation Tuesday furthers the notion that he will suit up for the contest. He toted the rock 16 times in Week 3 with Ajayi out of commission, suggesting he will likely be first in line for the lead role in his absence.

Clement (quadriceps) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Eagles had listed Clement on their first practice report of Week 6 on Monday, but that was merely an estimate with the team not holding an official session. Clement apparently took every rep Tuesday when the team reconvened, likely clearing the way for him to suit up Thursday against the Giants. Unless the Eagles address their backfield depth with an outside pickup, both Clement and Wendell Smallwood should be in store for heightened roles the rest of the season after Jay Ajayi (knee) was placed on injured reserve.

Clement (quadriceps) was estimated as a full practice participant on the Eagles' injury report Monday, Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
After taking a seat Week 4 due to a quadriceps injury, Clement was on the active roster Sunday against the Vikings but didn't earn a single snap, offensive or otherwise. During that contest, Jay Ajayi picked up a torn ACL, a injury that bodes well for Clement's prospects moving forward. Clement will have to contend with Wendell Smallwood and eventually Darren Sproles (hamstring), when healthy, for touches out of the backfield. The breakdown of work between the trio is difficult to peg, but Clement and Smallwood are the best bets to earn a combination of carries and catches. In 19 regular-season games with the Eagles, Clement has averaged 4.3 YPC on 101 runs, reeled in 18 of 25 passes, and scored seven touchdowns.
