Surprised he didn't get any offers till now.

I know he tore his ACL and his knee won't last for long, but his track record IMO was worth a shot as a backup at least.

It is being reported that Jordan Howard has a stinger in his shoulder and can't play against the Patriots. Darren Sproles was put on IR today. So that basically left the Eagles with 2 RBs available for the Patriots' game (Miles Sanders and Boston Scott). I guess the Eagles figure if they can get a game or 2 out of Ajayi before he completely blows out his knee then that will buy them time for Jordan Howard to get healthy.

That’s who the Cowboys should have started the season with (along with Pollard) instead of caving to Zeke’s demands. Good for Ajayi.

All in all, with Howard in the fold I'm glad they have Ajayi and not a dynamic return threat like Sproles. But if Howard goes down they now have two competent backs in Sanders and Howard.

Eagles will be relying far more on guys like Jordan Howard and Mile Sanders, than having to resort to Ajayi and those chronic knees. He's a last resort. and it's a reason why he was still available
on the street this very late in the season. He's very familiar with Pederson system

Or he's just depth that knows the system well enough to still be useful on such short notice.

We'd probably bring back Morris if we had a similar short notice emergency need.
