Jay Ajayi reportedly working out for Lions

Free agent running back Jay Ajayi will work out for the Detroit Lions on Friday, reports ESPN's Adam Schefter.

What It Means:

It may be an indication that Tra Carson (hamstring) will not be available for Week 9 against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. Ajayi is fully recovered from the torn ACL he suffered last season. He worked out for the Arizona Cardinals last week. The 26-year-old back would likely leap to the top of the depth chart above Carson, Ty Johnson, and J.D. McKissic if he's signed.

Ajayi rushed 45 times for 184 yards (4.1 per carry) and 3 touchdowns in four games for the Philadelphia Eagles last season.
