Eagles left tackle Jason Peters, who suffered an ankle injury in practice Friday, is active for Sunday night's game against the Falcons.

Peters had been listed as questionable. A four-time Pro Bowl pick, Peters is a key starter on the Eagles' line.

Philadelphia backup quarterback Vince Young is inactive with a hamstring injury. The Eagles also are without backup linebacker Akeem Jordan (shoulder), but cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie is active. He was listed as questionable with an ankle injury.

Falcons second-year center Joe Hawley is making his second straight starter for Todd McClure, who injured his right knee in the third preseason game.

Peria Jerry is starting at defensive tackle for Jonathan Babineaux, who is expected to miss three to five weeks after hurting his knee against the Bears last week.
