Jay Ajayi Reportedly Signs Contract with Eagles After Darren Sproles Injury

The Philadelphia Eagles and free-agent running back Jay Ajayi reportedly reached a contract agreement Friday.

Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported the deal after fellow rusher Darren Sproles was ruled out for the rest of 2019 with a hip injury.

Ajayi opened the 2018 season with a two-touchdown performance for the Eagles against the Atlanta Falcons, but he was limited to just four appearances last year before suffering a torn ACL.

The 26-year-old London native joined Philly in an October 2017 trade with the Miami Dolphins, with whom he spent the first two-plus years of his NFL career.
