The Eagles will be thin at running back on Sunday.
Jack-of-all-trades Philly back Darren Sproles was ruled out Friday due to a concussion he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Redskins. Ryan Mathews will resume the bulk of the carries.
With Wendell Smallwood placed on injured reserve Monday with a sprained MCL, that leaves Mathews and Kenjon Barner as the only two running backs with any experience. Byron Marshall was signed off the practice squad earlier in the week to add depth.
Here are the other notable injuries we were tracking this weekend:
- Jets quarterback Bryce Petty suffered a chest injury after being sandwiched by Ndamukong Suh and Cameron Wakein the fourth quarter. Initial X-rays were negative, but Petty will undergo more tests Sunday, Linebacker Darron Lee (eye) also exited early.
