Eagles to release Jay Ajayi

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to get Jordan Howard back from a neck stinger that cost the running back five games. According to Adam Schefter, Philadelphia will release Jay Ajayi to make room for Howard.

Howard has been out since suffering an injury against the Chicago Bears and should be cleared for contact in the coming days.

Ajayi has looked a shell of his former self and in three total games with the Eagles, he has 10 carries for 30 yards, on 21 snaps with two DNPs.
