All signs continue to point to defender Alex Smith, making the start for the Washington Football Team on Sunday night.

Smith is officially on the active list for the game. He was listed as questionable with a calf injury, but his practical work during the week pointed to his return to action.

Running back Antonio Gibson and wide receiver Terry McLaurin are also expected to play. Both were also in the questionable category entering the game.

Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is not active in the game. Jalen Hurts will continue to start and Nate Sudfeld will take over for Wentz as his backup.

Wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery join Wentz, running back Miles Sanders, defender Michael Jacquet, Jordan Mailata tackle, tight end Richard Rodgers, tight end Dallas Goedert, defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and defensive player Derek Barnett on the inactive list.

Wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden, wide receiver Robert Foster, running back Lamar Miller, linebacker Kevin Pierre-Louis, linebacker Thomas Davis and tackle David Steinmetz are inactive for Washington.
