Philadelphia Eagles running back Jay Ajayi said Thursday he will try to play through a small fracture in his back.

"You just have to roll with it until it heals on its own," he said, according to ESPN's Tim McManus, adding that his availability will come down to pain tolerance.

Ajayi was sidelined last week because of a back injury. He was a full participant in practice Thursday, indicating he should be good to go in three days when the Eagles visit the Tennessee Titans.

The 25-year-old rushed for 85 yards and three touchdowns on 22 carries over the first two games of the season. He totaled 408 yards and a touchdown on the ground across seven appearances last year after joining the Eagles in a trade from the Miami Dolphins.
