Clement (shoulder) is set to become an unrestricted free agent, with the Eagles choosing to not extend a contract tender, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The minimum restricted free-agent tender costs $2.132 million, which would be a large number for a third/fourth-string running back. Clement was never able to build on the promise of a rookie season that culminated with a huge performance in the Super Bowl, hindered by knee and shoulder injuries the past two years. He's believed to have undergone shoulder surgery in October.

Clement (shoulder) is set to become a restricted free agent in March, NJ.com's Mike Kay reports.
EDGE Analysis
A Super Bowl hero at the end of his rookie season, Clement took a step back in 2018 with 3.8 yards per carry and then played just four games in 2019 before landing on injured reserve with a shoulder injury that required surgery. The Eagles may still value him for his versatility on both offense and special teams, but there's no real justification for using a first- or second-round RFA tender on the 2017 UDFA. An original-round tender would allow the Eagles to retain Clement at a reasonable price, or at least have the right of refusal if he gets an offer sheet from another team. Clement will need to prove his health and compete for a 53-man roster spot in 2020, be it with the Eagles or another team.

Clement (shoulder) has been placed on injured reserve.
EDGE Analysis
After picking up at least 68 rushing attempts in each of his first two seasons, Clement had been relegated to a special teams role in Year 3 while Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders split running back duties. The Eagles promoted Boston Scott from their practice squad to fill Clement's spot.

Clement (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
With Darren Sproles (quadriceps) also out, the Eagles' Week 6 backfield will be led by Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders, with Boston Scott a candidate to be promoted from the team's practice squad for depth purposes.

Clement (shoulder) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
With back-to-back absences at practice to begin Week 6, Clement will likely need to log some form of activity Friday for the Eagles to feel good about his chances of playing Sunday in Minnesota. If Clement is ultimately sidelined, the Eagles would be down to just Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders among their available running backs. Passing-down specialist Darren Sproles (quadriceps) has already been ruled out for the contest.

Clement (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Clement expects to resume practicing Thursday, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, so it doesn't appear as though he's dealing with a long-term injury. If the 24-year-old running back is able to get healthy in time for Sunday's tilt against the Vikings, he'll serve as the Eagles' No. 3 running back with Darren Sproles (quadriceps) sidelined, and he could return punts.

Clement is in line for more work Sunday versus the Vikings with Darren Sproles (quadriceps) ruled out for the contest, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clement's main opportunity sans Sproles will likely come as a punt returner, but he'll also step in as the No. 3 running back as long as Sproles is unable to go. While it's likely that Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders will continue to dominate touches at the position for Philadelphia, even a minor role out of the backfield would give Clement an uptick in value in deeper fantasy leagues after he played only three offensive snaps in his four games this season.

Clement played eight special teams snaps and none on offense in Thursday's 34-27 win over the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Clement returned to the active roster after missing a week with a shoulder injury, but the Jordan Howard/Miles Sanders/ Darren Sproles trio handled all the work on offense. Even prior to the injury, the 24-year-old had seen just three offensive snaps all season. Clement's role will likely be confined to special teams for the foreseeable future.

Clement (shoulder) is listed as active Thursday at Green Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Clement progressed well through the shoulder injury that he picked up Week 2, going from DNP to LP to FP on Eagles injury reports in advance of this contest. Poised to return from a one-game absence, he may not be more than a special teamer with all of Miles Sanders, Jordan Howard and Darren Sproles healthy.

Clement (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Packers, is expected to be healthy enough to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clement looked to be trending toward an inactive status for a second straight game after he was listed as a non-participant in the Eagles' initial practice report for Week 4, but his outlook improved substantially after he upgraded to a full listing Wednesday. While Clement isn't fully in the clear just yet, the Eagles will likely make him available Thursday if he experiences no complications during his pregame workout. The clear No. 4 option on the Eagles' depth chart at running back, Clement is expected to be limited mostly to special-teams work if he suits up.
