Broncos-Eagles inactives: Sai’vion Jones returns to inactive list

PHILADELPHIA — Broncos third-round pick Sai’vion Jones made his regular-season debut last week, playing six snaps against the Cincinnati Bengals.

But that wasn’t enough to get him a second-consecutive week on the field.

The Broncos moved Jones to the inactive list Sunday, opting to bring back Jordan Jackson to the game-day active roster. The Broncos scratched the Air Force product last week.

Jones looked “fine,” defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said Friday.

“Obviously he didn’t play a lot of reps, but it was his first time getting on the field as a rookie. It was good for him to play some, but that should increase for him moving forward.

“But he’s had great weeks of practice. That’s why we decided to put him up finally. But, he’s growing fast so, hopefully he gets better and better each week.”

That progress will have to wait.

Denver’s inactive list against the Eagles is as follows:

• OT Frank Crum
• QB Sam Ehlinger (emergency No. 3 QB)
• DE Sai’Vion Jones
• RB Jaleel McLaughlin
• Edge rusher Que Robinson

Crum, McLaughlin and Robinson have been inactive for all five games this season.

There were only five inactive players this week because the team did not have any practice-squad elevations for the first time in either of the last two seasons. Inside linebacker Garret Wallow, an elevation the last three weeks, received a promotion to the 53-player roster Saturday when tight end Lucas Krull landed on injured reserve due to a foot injury suffered in practice Thursday.
