PHILADELPHIA — The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired running back Jordan Howard from the Chicago Bears for a conditional sixth-round pick in next year’s NFL draft. Howard bolsters an Eagles backfield that includes Josh Adams, who led the team in rushing with 511 yards last season, Wendell Smallwood and Corey Clement. The 24-year-old Howard ran for 935 yards last year, his lowest total in three NFL seasons. He made the Pro Bowl in his first season when he set a Bears rookie record with 1,313 yards rushing. Howard has rushed for 3,370 yards and 24 touchdowns in his career, and has 72 catches for 568 yards and a TD.
