Some interesting whispers appeared on Twitter this afternoon:

Clayton also mentions Chicago RB Jordan Howard as a sleeper to keep an eye on for the #Eagles. — SPORTSRADIO 94WIP (@SportsRadioWIP) October 9, 2018

That's John Clayton, of ESPN notoriety, speculating that Bears RB Jordan Howard could potentially be on his way out of Chicago. It should be noted, and noted again, and noted one thousand times after, that this is all pure speculation at this point. "A sleeper to keep an eye on" is just about as noncommital as you can get while still reporting.

Still, Clayton certainly has strong NFL connections, and Howard's seen a lot of his snaps this season disappear in favor of Tarik Cohen. On paper, the fit's there.

This season, Howard has 203 yards on 64 rushes and one touchdown.
