LANDOVER — Washington Redskins cornerback Chris Culliver is active for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Culliver’s availability was uncertain after he missed both Thursday and Friday’s practice with a left knee injury. It’s a boost to the secondary that he can play, but whether he can go 100 percent will dictate his playing time on Sunday.
Receiver Andre Roberts headlines the inactive list. Roberts has struggled early and dropped three passes in three games. His status on Sunday is a sign the team is holding him accountable for it, and this should mean more looks for rookie Jamison Crowder.
The other six inactive players are cornerback DeAngelo Hall (toe), quarterback Robert Griffin, receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring), defensive end Kedric Golston, offensive tackle Tom Compton and middle linebacker Perry Riley (calf).
Eagles running back DeMarco Murray (hamstring) and linebacker Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) are both active. Murray did not play last week in the Eagles’ win against the New York Jets.
The other inactive players are quarterback Thad Lewis, safety Chris Marago, linebacker Kiko Alonso, center/guard Julian Vandervelde, defensive end Cedric Thornton, linebacker Marcus Smith and defensive end Taylor Hart.
