TAMPA — Eagles wide receiver Shelton Gibson is active for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after entering the weekend questionable with a knee injury.

There were no surprises on the inactive list. Quarterback Carson Wentz (knee), wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder), and running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) are all inactive, but they were all declared out on Friday. Sproles injured his hamstring during practice on Wednesday.

The other inactives are offensive linemen Jordan Mailata, Chance Warmack, and Matt Pryor; and defensive end Josh Sweat.

Corey Clement will take on a bigger offensive role and the punt return duties without Sproles in the lineup. Safety Deiondre Hall and wide receiver Kamar Aiken are making their Eagles debuts. Linebacker Nigel Bradham is making his season debut.

Wide receiver DeSean Jackson and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul are both active for the Bucs.
