PHILADELPHIA -- Running back Darren Sproles and wide receiver Shelton Gibson sat out Thursday's Philadelphia Eagles practice because of injuries.

Sproles (hamstring) and Gibson (knee) were both limited in Wednesday's practice.

Sproles' injury could alter the team's running back rotation. The veteran played 29 offensive snaps against the Atlanta Falcons in the season opener, and he carried five times for 10 yards while catching four passes on seven targets for 22 yards. He also returned three punts for 29 yards.

A Sproles absence could mean more Corey Clement in Week 2. Clement had five carries for 26 yards, including a 21-yard gain that set up Jay Ajayi's game-winning touchdown and was the team's longest offensive play of the game. Clement showed he could be a viable receiver down the stretch -- remember his Super Bowl performance with four catches for 100 yards and a touchdown? -- and he's also listed as Sproles' backup at punt returner.

Without Gibson, the Eagles are down to four healthy wide receivers on the active roster. The preseason star played only four snaps on offense, but he had a 30-yard kickoff return against the Falcons. HIs absence would mean more work for Clement as the backup kickoff returner, while Nelson Agholor, Mike Wallace and DeAndre Carter handled the majority of reps in Week 1.

Quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) were limited in Thursday's practice. They aren't expected to play in Week 2.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Eagles' Week 2 opponent, got some positive news on its injury report.

DeSean Jackson (concussion, shoulder) and Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) both returned to practice today but were limited. A player can participate in practice if he is still in the concussion protocol.

Wide receiver DeSean Jackson (concussion, shoulder) and defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (knee) both missed Wednesday's practice, and they were limited Thursday. That's good news for the Bucs offense and pass rush. Jackson caught two touchdown passes in the season opener.

Tampa Bay, though, still might need some help in the secondary. Cornerback Brent Grimes remained out with a groin injury. The team placed corner Vernon Hargreaves on injured reserve with a shoulder injury Wednesday.

Defensive tackle Vita Vea (calf) remained out, while guard Caleb Benenoch (knee) and tackle Donovan Smith (knee) were limited.

The Eagles and Bucs will release injury reports Friday before announcing game status Saturday.
