For the second straight day, Eagles running backs Jay Ajayi (back) and Darren Sproles (hamstring) were not practicing.
That means they will have missed the two most important practices of the week and their availability for Sunday's game is very much in question.
Sproles injured his hamstring in practice before the last game and Ajayi took a hit on his lower back during Sunday's game in Tampa. Ajayi toughed it out to come back in that one, but was in pain after the game.
If Ajayi and Sproles can't play vs. the Colts, the Eagles will be down to three running backs: Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood and Josh Adams, who was just brought up from the practice squad this week.
The Eagles will likely be light at running back and receiver this week for Carson Wentz's return.
Wentz, who was a full participant for the first time this season Wednesday, was back on the field Thursday. He looked good in the small portion of practice reporters are allowed to watch.

Linebackers Nate Gerry (groin) and D.J. Alexander (knee) were both back practicing after missing Wednesday's session. That's a good sign for the Eagles' special teams.
The Eagles will release an official injury report later this afternoon and game statuses will be released Friday.
