Four-time Pro Bowl selection Jamaal Charles signed with the Broncos on Tuesday, which was a real kick in the teeth for Eagles fans worried about the state of the backfield.

Ryan Mathews has a neck injury, and it’s widely speculated he will ultimately get released. Wendell Smallwood is coming off of a significant injury as well, and he carried the ball just 77 times as a rookie. Darren Sproles
