Clement (knee) rushed seven times for 18 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game in Thursday's 26-15 preseason loss to the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Clement got the start with Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders taking the night off, suggesting he's over the knee injury that had been bothering up to this point. Josh Adams also got seven carries in this one and diminutive receiving back Darren Sproles remains in the mix as well, so there's no shortage of bodies for Philadelphia to sort through at the running back position before the season starts. Clement's roster spot should be safe as long as he stays in front of Adams.

Clement (knee) wants to play in Thursday's preseason game against Baltimore, but he probably won't know his status until Wednesday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clement took first-team reps for the first time this summer during Monday's joint practice with the Ravens, noting afterward that he's become confident without using a brace over his surgically repaired knee. It isn't clear how he fits in an offense that also has Miles Sanders, Jordan Howard and Darren Sproles in the backfield, but the third-year pro at least seems to be healthy with enough time left to solidify his roster spot. Clement's versatility -- both on offense and special teams -- makes him a strong fit as the No. 4 running back over the likes of Josh Adams, Wendell Smallwood or Boston Scott.

Clement (knee) is getting a lot of first-team work Monday in joint practices with the Ravens, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clement returned to 11-on-11 work during the first week of August, but he hasn't been a regular participant and didn't play in the first two weeks of the preseason. The Eagles seem to be gearing him up for an appearance in Thursday's exhibition against Baltimore, with the third-year pro potentially needing to fend off competition for his roster spot.

Clement (knee) returned to 11-on-11 work Monday, Nick Fierro of The Morning Call reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clement "didn't miss a beat" and flashed great burst and acceleration in his first team practice of training camp, according to FIerro. The Eagles probably will continue to ease the 24-year-old into full-contact situations, making it unlikely that he'll see much (if any) action in Thursday's preseason tilt with Tennessee, but all reports indicate Clement is progressing nicely as he recovers from knee surgery.

Clement (knee) did individual drills but no team work Thursday, the team's first day of training camp, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clement is likely to earn a role as the fourth running back behind Jordan Howard, Miles Sanders and Darren Sproles, but the 24-year-old will need to show he's all the way back first. He is seven months removed from knee surgery. Josh Adams and Wendell Smallwood loom as his main competition, with Boston Scott and Donnel Pumphrey around as less likely options.

Clement's trainer believes the running back is 95 percent recovered from last year's knee injury and should be ready for the start of training camp, NJ.com's Mike Kaye and Zack Rosenblatt report.

EDGE Analysis

Clement suffered the season-ending injury Week 14 and was held out for the entire offseason program, declining to provide details apart from saying it wasn't an ACL issue. He'll need to duke it out for a roster spot in the coming weeks, after the Eagles added Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders (hamstring) and re-signed Darren Sproles. The Eagles report to training camp Wednesday, with their first practices scheduled for Thursday. Clement's competition for a depth role includes Wendell Smallwood, Josh Adams (shoulder) and Boston Scott.

Clement (knee) is the favorite to replace Darren Sproles on passing downs, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite catching just 29 passes throughout his college career, Clement worked his way into the third-down role by the end of his rookie season, culminating in four catches for 100 yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl. His second pro campaign was far less successful, with Clement catching 22 passes and averaging just 3.8 yards per carry in 11 games before he was sent to injured reserve Week 15 to have knee surgery. The 24-year-old was restricted to rehab work throughout the offseason program and may be limited or unavailable when the Eagles begin training camp in late July. Once he's cleared for practice, Clement will face tough competition for carries but much softer competition for targets. Jordan Howard struggled in the passing game during his time with the Bears, and rookie second-round pick Miles Sanders (hamstring) finished his Penn State career with just 193 receiving yards. The biggest challenge may come from Wendell Smallwood, who caught 28 of 35 targets for 230 yards (6.6 YPT) and two scores last season.

Clement (knee) was seen working on a side field during Wednesday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clement has largely been out of commission since suffering an undisclosed knee injury Dec. 9 of last season. Six months later, he's apparently beginning to ramp up his activity level. Clement has roughly another two months to heal up before the start of training camp, where he'll look to maintain his hold on the No. 3 tailback job behind offseason pickup Jordan Howard and rookie Miles Sanders (hamstring).

Clement (knee) isn't sure when he will be cleared for practice, but he doesn't have any concern about his Week 1 availability, Geoff Mosher of 97.5 The Fanatic Philadelphia reports. "I'm back at it," Clement said Monday. "It wasn't an ACL. None of that. I'm hitting the ground running. You can expect Corey to be out there Game 1."

EDGE Analysis

Clement still hasn't provided specifics on the season-ending knee injury he suffered Week 14, but he at least seemed to clarify that it wasn't a major ligament tear. He also mentioned wanting to play at around 210 pounds, believing a lighter frame (he's listed at 220) can help him become a more versatile player. It makes sense for Clement to focus on his quickness and pass-catching skills after the Eagles traded for Jordan Howard to serve as their bruiser on early downs. With Darren Sproles still pondering retirement and Wendell Smallwood far from a lock to earn a significant role, Clement has a path to regular playing time in passing situations. It sounds like the 24-year-old will be absent or limited throughout the offseason program, but he should get back on the field to compete for a role at some point during training camp.

Clement (knee) still figures to have a role after the Eagles traded for fellow running back Jordan Howard, Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

A pleasant surprise as a rookie and a considerable disappointment in his sophomore campaign, Clement is now recovering from a December knee injury, with the Eagles declining to provide any details. His health may have played a role in the decision to acquire Howard, but it's more likely the team simply jumped at the opportunity to acquire a proven lead runner in exchange for a late-round pick. If healthy, Clement likely offers enough versatility to keep his roster spot safe, with potential to handle passing downs and/or spell Howard on early downs. The recent transaction is worse news for Josh Adams, whose strengths largely seem to overlap with Howard's. The Eagles also have Wendell Smallwood and could add another running back in the upcoming draft.
