With a couple injuries to their running backs, the Eagles are promoting rookie Josh Adams to their 53-man roster from their practice squad, a league source confirmed to NBC Sports Philadelphia. 

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo first reported the promotion. 

Adams, 21, missed some time this preseason with an injury of his own but had 23 rushing attempts for 90 yards and was impressive enough to warrant consideration for the 53-man roster out of the summer. The talented rookie running back from Notre Dame has been on the practice squad for the first two weeks of the season. 

Darren Sproles missed Week 2 with a hamstring injury and then Jay Ajayi got hit in his lower back during the game. On Sunday night, Ajayi was frustrated and in some pain because of the injury as he went to see the trainer. 

Even though Ajayi toughed it out and returned to the game, the Eagles were left with just Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood as their completely healthy running back options for this coming week in practice. 

The Eagles will need to create a roster spot for Adams. That might happen by placing Mike Wallace (fractured fibula) on IR.
