Rookies contribute to big Eagles win over Redskins

One of the reasons Corey Clement went undrafted in April was that NFL teams had questions about the running back’s ability to catch the football.

He wasn’t used much as a receiver at the University of Wisconsin, catching a total of 29 passes in 39 games. But there he was Monday night, making an acrobatic touchdown catch on national television in the Eagles’ big 34-24 win over the Redskins.

“Yeah, I’m not supposed to be able to catch,’’ the rookie said with a smile.

Clement came into Monday’s game with 25 rushing attempts this season, but just one reception.
