Eagles practice Wednesday with only two running backs from active roster

The Eagles practiced Wednesday without running backs Darren Sproles and Wendell Smallwood, although there appears to be less reason for concern that they won't have enough rushers for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, because Smallwood's absence was not injury-related.

Smallwood missed practice for a personal reason, the team said. Sproles continues to nurse a hamstring injury. He has not played since Week 1, and his status for this week does not look good. Corey Clement and Josh Adams were the only running backs from the active roster at practice. Donnel Pumphrey, who joined the practice squad Tuesday, was also on the field.
