Jordan Howard dealing with more than a stinger as he struggles to regain strength in shoulder

Jordan Howard dealing with more than a stinger as he struggles to regain strength in his shoulder

[jwplayer JedPPvRW]

The Philadelphia Eagles have been without running back Jordan Howard for two games now and it’s starting to look like his “stinger” could be even more serious than team officials thought.

During his Monday morning press conference, Doug Pederson indicated that Howard is working to regain strength in his injured shoulder.

Howard has still not been cleared for contact and he’s unlikely to play until that happens. Miles Sanders carried the load for the Eagles on Sunday, but Howard’s bruising, physical style has definitely been missed.

The Washington Redskins and Detroit Lions have experienced quarterbacks on their roster, but have had to change their plans to let young signal-callers take the reigns. When they square-off at FedEx Field, the teams will have their eyes on their inexperienced quarterbacks.

Lions quarterback Jeff Driskel, tasked with filling in for an injured for Matthew Stafford, threw for 209 yards and two touchdowns in a 35-27 loss at home to the Dallas Cowboys. With Stafford ruled out for this game as well, Driskel will have another chance to impress. Detroit’s defense will need to step up in this contest after giving up 509 yards to the Cowboys last week. With Washington’s less potent offense, this is an opportunity for the Lions to get back on track offensively. 

Washington also lost its last outing, dropping a game at home against the New York Jets by a score of 34-17. The team was held to just 54 yards rushing, which forced the team to put the ball in the air more than it wanted with rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins under center. Haskins completed 19 of his 35 pass attempts for 214 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. With Detroit overly capable of moving the ball through the air and on the ground, the Washington offense may need to produce at a high level to keep pace.

RB Bo Scarbrough

The round and round cycle that is the Lions running back situation since Kerryon Johnson’s injury has now landed on Bo Scarbrough. For those paying attention, we’ve went from Ty Johnson to JD McKissic and now Scarbrough. Last week against the Cowboys, Scarbrough came out of no where to muster up 14 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown. McKissic did still feature as a pass catcher, though.

RB Jay Ajayi

Jay Ajayi signed with the Eagles prior to Week 11 against the Patriots, but he didn’t play behind Miles Sanders and Boston Scott. It might be a case of him needing to warm up to the offensive scheme, but he’s certainly at least a better option than Scott with Jordan Howard still expecting to miss some time. He’s at least worth stashing for a playoff run later on.

Jay Ajayi’s contract has a unique clause that could keep him with Eagles in 2020

The Philadelphia Eagles signed running back Jay Ajayi on Friday after Jordan Howard and Darren Sproles both suffered injuries.

[lawrence-related id=626151,626145]

Ajayi’s signing wasn’t expected to be for more than a week to week basis, but according to Ian Rapoport, the running back could be with the Eagles next season as well.

According to Rapoport, the structure is similar to that of a restricted free agent, and it would make it easier for the Eagles to bring back Ajayi for another season if another team shows interest in the offseason.

Ajayi could have a role with the Eagles next season if the team moves on from Darren Sproles and Corey Clement.

Sproles is on injured reserve with a torn hip flexor, and his career could be over. Jordan Howard has a shoulder injury that kept him out of Sunday’s loss to the New England Patriots and will be a free agent after this season.

The final six weeks of the season are essentially an audition for Ajayi with the Eagles and other teams who’ll likely have a need for the running back position.

The Philadelphia Eagles are now 5-5 on the season after blowing a 10-point lead against the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.

The Eagles defense showed up in full force and looks to be rounding into form after battering Tom Brady during a dominant first half by Philadelphia. After a late second-quarter touchdown, The Eagles scored zero points and are now a full game behind the Dallas Cowboys in the win column.

With the Seahawks coming to the Linc next Sunday, here are four takeaways from the Birds 17-10 loss to the Patriots.

1. Eagles aren’t a serious playoff contender without deep threat

Nelson Agholor had four catches for 40-yards, while Zach Ertz led the Birds with nine catches for 94 yards, deep passing yards were hard to come by. The Eagles went away from Miles Sanders after a strong first half. Even with Alshon Jeffery back, this Eagles offense works too hard to gain big chunks of yards.

The Philadelphia Eagles have a huge matchup with the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon and they’ll like play without running back Jordan Howard. ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that Howard is expected to miss the contest with a shoulder injury.

With Howard out, Jay Ajayi will make his season debut and likely play a significant role in the contest.

The Eagles had Ajayi in for a workout on Friday morning and the move is added depth for a position that was starting to become the strength of the team.

Philadelphia head coach Doug Pederson said that Howard sustained his injury late in the Eagles’ 22-14 win over the Chicago Bears on Nov. 3.

Ajayi missed most of the 2018 season, playing just four games for the Eagles before suffering a torn ACL. Ajayi had 592 yards on 105 carries and four touchdowns in 11 games with the Eagles since 2017.

Ajayi knows the offense and amassed 592 yards and 4 touchdowns in two seasons with the Birds.

With Darren Sproles out for the season and Howard nursing a shoulder injury, here are four takeaways from the news that Ajayi has returned home.

1. The Eagles are turning into a run-first team

Even with Howard questionable, the Eagles postseason hopes will rest with a trio of running backs who all bring different and special gifts to the game. With Alshon Jeffery nursing an ankle injury and Jordan Matthews returning to the roster, Sunday will provide a huge opportunity for the Eagles to define their identity against a Patriots defense that can be run on.

The Philadelphia Eagles released their final injury report in advance of the teams’ matchup with the New England Patriots and Alshon Jeffery will not be able to play.

Nigel Bradham will miss another game with an ankle injury, while Jason Peters looks to return to the Eagles lineup.

On Friday, the Eagles announced that Darren Sproles would miss the remainder of the season with a hip injury.

Jordan Howard is dealing with a “stinger”, while Alshon Jeffery is dealing with a nagging ankle injury.

The Eagles wide receivers on Sunday will be Nelson Agholor, Jordan Matthews, Mack Hollins, and JJ Arcega-Whiteside.

At running back, the Eagles will have Miles Sanders, Boston Scott, Ajayi and maybe De’Angelo Henderson.
