Placed in IR
The Eagles placed lead running back Jay Ajayi on injured reserve Monday, a major blow to an offense that has struggled to score points over the first five games of the season.

Nerdy Football Analysis: The Eagles are thin at running back with Ajayi (IR), Darren Sproles (hamstring) and Corey Clement (quad) all battling injuries. Wendall Smallwood and Josh Adams are the only true healthy running backs on the roster. Unless a free agent is signed, Smallwood should see a spike in usage moving forward.
