Eagles’ Jordan Howard, Nelson Agholor unlikely to play vs. Seahawks

Jordan Howard, Nelson Agholor unlikely to play vs. Seahawks

The Philadelphia Eagles promoted Greg Ward to the active roster and it looks like the former college quarterback will get his shot during a regular-season game. Adam Schefter of ESPN.com is reporting that both running back Jordan Howard and wide receiver Nelson Agholor, are expected to miss Sunday’s home matchup with Seattle.

It will be the second straight missed game for Howard who has been dealing with a “stinger”, while Agholor has been dealing with a knee injury suffered in last Sunday’s loss to New England.

Jay Ajayi is expected to see an increased role in Howard’s absence, while Ward and JJ Arcega-Whiteside will try to fill in for Agholor on the outside and in the slot.
