Eagles RB Jordan Howard not cleared for contact, could miss game vs. Seahawks with shoulder injury

Jordan Howard has not been cleared for contact and might sit out for a second straight week.

The Philadelphia Eagles could be without Jordan Howard on Sunday as the running back works his back from a neck/shoulder nerve injury — known as a stinger — suffered in the win over the Bears in Week 9. Howard has yet to be cleared for contact, and his status for Sunday is in jeopardy.

Miles Sanders and Boston Scott handled the backfield duties with Howard out last week against the New England Patriots. Jay Ajayi, who signed with the Eagles last week and did not play against the Patriots, could have a role against Seattle.
