The Eagles still haven't provided any details on the nature of Clement's season-ending knee injury, Andrew Kulp of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clement suffered the injury Week 14 and was placed on injured reserve two days later, with one report suggesting the issue could be serious enough to impact his offseason routine. We still don't have any update on a diagnosis, but it does seem Clement is facing a significant hurdle in his attempt to bounce back from a sophomore slump. The rest of the Philadelphia backfield is equally unsettled, with Darren Sproles presumably contemplating retirement and Jay Ajayi potentially headed for free agency while rehabbing a torn ACL. The Eagles do have Wendell Smallwood and Josh Adams under contract for 2019, but neither player inspires confidence as anything more than a No. 3 back. The team likely will look for an external upgrade even if Sproles and/or Ajayi sticks around.

Clement (knee) likely will have some limitations during the offseason program, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While the Eagles haven't provided details on Clement's injury, this timeline suggests it's something fairly severe, though not quite on par with an ACL or patella tear. The second-year running back was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, finishing a disappointing sophomore season with 68 carries for 259 yards (3.8 YPC) and two touchdowns as well as 22 catches for 192 yards on 25 targets (7.7 YPT). Clement's role in 2019 will largely depend on what the Eagles do in the offseason. Jay Ajayi (knee) is set to become an unrestricted free agent, and Darren Sproles may finally be ready to retire.

Clement (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Eagles haven't publicly commented on the results of the MRI that Clement required Monday, but the running back's move to IR implies that he was likely looking at a multi-week recovery timeline. With Clement officially shut down for the final three regular-season contests and a potential postseason run, Darren Sproles checks in as the top change-of-pace option behind starter Josh Adams, while Wendell Smallwood also slides up a spot on the depth chart.

Clement is expected to be sidelined for at least Sunday's game against the Rams after sustaining a right knee injury in the Week 14 overtime loss to the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clement played just seven snaps (four on offense) before exiting with the injury, for which he required an MRI on Monday. The results of Clement's exams aren't known, but the team's decision to sign fellow running back Boston Scott off the Saints' practice squad implies some level of concern about the former's Week 15 availability. If Clement is in fact sidelined versus the Rams, Darren Sproles and/or Wendell Smallwood could take on enhanced roles behind starter Josh Adams.

Clement will undergo an MRI on Monday as the Eagles look to determine the severity of the knee injury he suffered in Sunday's 29-23 overtime loss to the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
The Eagles believe that Clement, who took one carry for minus-4 yards in the contest, is dealing with a sprain rather than any sort of structural damage to the knee. The MRI will provide a clearer picture of what exactly is plaguing Clement, but even if it's confirmed that he's merely dealing with a sprain, the second-year back's availability for the Week 15 game against the Rams would still be in some peril. If Clement is forced to miss any action, Darren Sproles would be locked in as the clear top complement to starter Josh Adams.

Clement (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game in Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Clement was a casualty of getting his right leg rolled up on, with his injury eventually clarified as to his knee, according to Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. Well before he was ruled out, Clement was seen on the sideline in sweats and with a brace on the knee, per Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Inquirer. The severity of the injury is unknown, but the Eagles should clarify Clement's health in due time. With Clement sidelined, the backfield has been whittled down to Josh Adams, Darren Sproles and Wendell Smallwood.

Clement injured his knee during Sunday's game at Dallas and is questionable to return, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clement's right leg was rolled up on at the end of a first-quarter carry. He remained on the turf for a spell before needing assistance to get to the locker room, according to Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. If Clement is unable to reenter the contest, Darren Sproles will serve as the primary pass-catching back Sunday and perhaps beyond.

Clement carried five times for 27 yards and caught all three of his targets for 47 yards in Monday night's 28-13 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Clement continued to fill the role of change-of-pace back behind Josh Adams and saw 23 snaps on the day, just one fewer than the previous week, even with Darren Sproles returning to the fold. The 24-year-old was also the only running back targeted in the passing game. Clement has reached at least 74 total yards in each of his last two games despite seeing no more than eight touches in either contest. He'll be hard-pressed to keep the streak going as Sproles' role in the offense should increase going forward and the Eagles face off against Dallas' fifth-ranked defense against running backs Week 14.

Clement played 24 of the Eagles' 65 offensive snaps (37 percent) in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Giants, finishing with five carries for 45 yards and two receptions for 31 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Clement's 76 yards from scrimmage were his most since Week 2, but it's difficult to get excited about his fantasy prospects moving forward considering that the production wasn't supported by a major uptick in volume. Furthermore, coach Doug Pederson told Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com on Monday that he wants to increase Josh Adams' (22 carries for 84 yards and a score in Week 12) workload down the stretch, so any additional touches for the newly-minted lead back might come at Clement's expense. On a positive note, Clement at least worked as the clear No. 2 option behind Adams on Sunday, as former starter Wendell Smallwood was limited to just one offensive snap.

Clement is expected to see his role within the Eagles' backfield committee decline beginning with Sunday's game against the Giants with the team planning to start Josh Adams and feature him more prominently moving forward, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clement's arrow had already been pointing down even before Rapoport's nugget, as the second-year back earned just four touches (two carries, two receptions) -- his fewest in any of his eight appearances this season -- in the Week 11 loss to the Saints. Wendell Smallwood, who had also benefited from an increased workload since Jay Ajayi (knee) suffered a season-ending injury in early October, was also limited to just four offensive snaps in that contest, while Adams (seven carries for 53 yards, three receptions for 19 yards), an undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame, continued to stand out as the most productive member in the committee. Adams should now get the opportunity to build on his impressive performance to date, resulting in Clement and Smallwood perhaps in line to see usage on par with what they received in Week 11 on a regular basis. If that ends up being the case, it would be tough to justify holding Clement even in most deeper leagues.
