The Philadelphia Eagles will be without running back Jay Ajayi, who's suffering from a back injury, when they face the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, the team announced.
Veteran tailback Darren Sproles will also miss the contest because of a hamstring issue.
With Ajayi and Sproles on the shelf, Corey Clement figures to receive most of the work in the backfield, though he's listed as questionable due to an ailing quadriceps.
In more positive news, the Eagles are set to return star quarterback Carson Wentz to the starting lineup after a long-awaited recovery from a torn ACL.
