News

  • Locked in as lead back

    Coach Doug Pederson said last week that Sanders is ready to be the unquestioned leader of the Philadelphia backfield, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.

    Analysis: Sanders capably filled that role late last season, averaging 15.7 carries for 71.7 yards and 4.2 catches for 34.2 yards over a six-game stretch Weeks 11-16. He then suffered an ankle sprain Week 17 and an MCL sprain in the playoff loss to Seattle, but there hasn't been any indication of either injury impacting his offseason routine. The current depth chart holds Boston Scott, Corey Clement and a trio of undrafted young players behind Sanders, albeit with the possibility of the Eagles eventually…read more

  • Played through MCL sprain

    Sanders suffered an MCL sprain during Sunday's playoff loss to the Seahawks, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Sanders, who had been dealing with an ankle sprain leading up to the contest, was able to tough things out Sunday and won't need surgery to address his knee issue. With a full recovery expected, Sanders is in line to be ready to go once Philadelphia's OTAs commence. It remains to be seen who'll join him in the team's backfield next season -- Sanders and Boston Scott are the only two backs under contract for 2020 -- but the 2019 second-rounder now appears entrenched as the Eagles' top running…read more

  • Won't require offseason surgery

    Sanders was spotted with crutches and a brace on his left knee Monday, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Per the report, Sanders -- who toughed out 14 carries for 69 yards and caught three of his five targets for eight yards in Sunday's 17-9 wild-card loss to the Seahawks -- won't require surgery to address his knee issue. With Jordan Howard, Corey Clement (shoulder) and Darren Sproles (hip) all set to become an unrestricted free agents this offseason, Sanders and Boston Scott are currently the only two backs the Eagles have under contract for 2020. That will obviously change, but either way, it…read more

  • Compiles 77 total yards in loss

    Sanders (ankle) rushed 14 times for 69 yards and brought in three of five targets for eight yards in the Eagles' 17-9 wild-card loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: Sanders was in good form when he had the opportunity to touch the ball, with his longest run of the day going for 18 yards. However, the rookie couldn't make an impact in the passing game as he'd managed to over Weeks 15 and 16, a two-game span during which he compiled 11 receptions for 127 yards and a touchdown. Sanders wrapped up his rookie campaign with 818 regular-season rushing yards and three touchdowns, along with 50 receptions for another 509 yards and three more scores. He'll look to…read more

  • Cleared to play

    Sanders (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's playoff game against the Seahawks after practicing fully Friday.

    Analysis: Sanders previously stated that he'd play this weekend and that's been confirmed by the Eagles' final injury report in advance of Sunday's wild-card tilt. Look for the 2019 second-rounder to lead his team's rushing attack versus Seattle as long as his ankle holds up, with Boston Scott and Jordan Howard in the mix to spell him and log complementary/change-of-pace touches.

  • In line to play Sunday

    Sanders (ankle) plans to play Sunday against the Seahawks, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: We'll have to see if the Eagles officially list the running back as questionable for the team's playoff opener, or minus an injury designation, but Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia relays that at this stage Sanders feels good about where's he at in terms of "cutting and everything" after practicing Friday.

  • Returning to practice Friday

    Coach Doug Pederson said Sanders (ankle) will participate at Friday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: The rookie running back sat out the first two practices of the week, but he'll retake the field Friday as previously reported. Sanders' level of participation at practice will likely determine whether he's able to avoid an injury designation, but he appears to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's playoff matchup with the Seahawks.

  • Expects to practice Friday

    Sanders (ankle) was officially listed as a non-participant at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Back to-to-back missed sessions make what Sanders is able to do Friday pivotal with regard to his status for Sunday's playoff game against the Seahawks. Per Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News, the running expects to practice Friday, and when asked if he thinks he can play this weekend, Sanders nodded and replied, "it's the playoffs, man." With that, he'll probably end up officially listed as questionable, but if he makes it through Friday without any setbacks, we'd expect Sanders to give…read more

  • Not practicing again

    Sanders (ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Sanders' activity in practice needs to be monitored in the Eagles' final session of the week Friday, but Zach Berman of The Athletic puts forth the notion that the Eagles are simply "being cautious" with Sanders. In a similar vein, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia inferred from coach Doug Pederson's press conference Wednesday that the running back will play in Sunday's wild-card game against the Seahawks. It does, however, seem likely that Sanders will be officially listed…read more

  • Listed as non-participant

    Sanders (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.

    Analysis: Wednesday's session was a walk-through, so what Sanders is able to do once the team takes the field Thursday will be more telling with regard to the running back's chances of suiting up for Sunday's playoff contest against the Seahawks. Per Dave Spadaro of the Eagles' official site, the team is hopeful that Sanders will be able go this weekend. If Sanders ends up limited or even sits out Sunday, added backfield touches would be available for Boston Scott and Jordan Howard.

  • Watching practice from sidelines

    Sanders (ankle) doesn't appear to be participating in Wednesday's walk-through practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Sanders stood on the sideline observing while his teammates stretched before the practice. Coach Doug Pederson has been optimistic about Sanders returning for Sunday's playoff game against Seattle, but it remains to be seen how the running back's sprained/inflamed ankle will heal throughout the week. A return to practice Thursday or Friday could put the rookie on track for a game-time decision.

  • Tending to ankle inflammation

    Sanders underwent an MRI this week that revealed a low-grade ankle sprain, leaving coach Doug Pederson optimistic that the rookie is "going to be OK" for Sunday's wild-card matchup with the Seahawks, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: According to Pelissero, the inflammation in Sanders' ankle is a greater worry at this stage than the sprain itself, so the running back should be ready to go by the weekend if the swelling subsides as the Eagles anticipate. While Sanders should retain a leading role in the Philadelphia backfield if active Sunday, Pederson suggested that Jordan Howard could be included in the game plan after returning from a six-game absence due to a shoulder stinger in Sunday's win over the Giants, but not…read more

  • Considered day-to-day

    Sanders (ankle) is considered day-to-day, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

    Analysis: Coach Doug Pederson didn't provide any details, but his brief comment suggests the running back at least avoided a high-ankle sprain, which would typically draw a more pessimistic assessment. Sanders initially tried to play through the injury in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Giants, eventually sitting out for the entire second half while Boston Scott took over as the lead back (and rumbled for 138 scrimmage yards and three TDs on 23 touches). It's a safe bet Sanders will land on the injury report…read more

  • Needs testing on ankle

    Sanders (ankle) will undergo testing Monday to evaluate what is believed to be a "pretty decent sprain", Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

    Analysis: The Eagles are optimistic it isn't a high ankle sprain, but that doesn't mean Sanders will be ready for Sunday's game against Seattle in the wild-card round of the playoffs. The rookie initially tried to play through the injury during Sunday's 34-17 win over the Giants, but he ended up missing the entire second half, which contributed to Boston Scott piling up 138 yards and three touchdowns on 23 touches. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports that Sanders will have an MRI on Monday.

  • Ruled out of Sunday's game

    Sanders (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Giants.

    Analysis: Sanders was hobbled after making a sideline grab in the first quarter but attempted to play through the issue. In the second quarter, though, he paid a visit to the blue sideline tent and then limped to the locker room with the training staff, never to return. For the game, he compiled nine rushes for 52 yards and three catches (on five targets) for minus-1 yard. Since Sanders' departure, Boston Scott has earned all the RB touches despite the presence of Jordan Howard for the first time since…read more

    Sanders suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: After making a catch in the first quarter, Sanders appeared hobbled and convened with the training staff for a spell. He returned to action but eventually was examined in the sideline tent before limping to the locker room, per Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. Sanders was called questionable to return by the Eagles, but if he doesn't, he'll finish Week 17 with nine carries for 52 yards and three receptions (on five targets) for minus-1 yard.

  • Expected to retain No. 1 role

    Sanders is expected to remain the Eagles' lead option out of the backfield Sunday against the Giants with Jordan Howard (shoulder) trending toward a return, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Over the Eagles' first nine games, Howard led the team's ground attack with 525 yards and six touchdowns on 119 attempts, with Sanders operating in more of a change-of-pace capacity. With a shoulder stinger keeping Howard out for the subsequent six games, however, Sanders has been thrust into a larger role and has responded well, amassing 635 total yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns. Though Howard has received clearance to take contact and should be available in the regular-season finale,…read more

  • Finds end zone again

    Sanders carried the ball 20 times for 79 yards and a touchdown and caught five of six targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: On a day when offense was at a premium, Sanders was the most dangerous player on the field, and his one-yard TD plunge late in the third quarter proved to be the difference. The rookie has grabbed hold of the No, 1 RB job with 588 scrimmage yards and four TDs over the last five games, and he'll look to help the Eagles clinch the NFC East title next week against the Giants.

  • Best game as a pro

    Sanders rushed 19 times for 122 yards and a touchdown while catching all six of his targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-27 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Sanders found paydirt from one yard out in the second quarter for his second career rushing touchdown, then added the third receiving touchdown of his rookie season on a 15-yard catch in the back corner of the end zone in the third quarter. He later broke free for a 56-yard run, setting up Zach Ertz's go-ahead touchdown with 10 minutes to play. If Jordan Howard (shoulder) isn't ready to make his return in Week 16, Sanders should continue to serve in a high-volume role against Dallas in a game…read more

  • Expected starter once more

    Sanders will start at running back Sunday against the Redskins after the Eagles ruled out Jordan Howard (shoulder) on Saturday.

    Analysis: At this point, it's fair to wonder if Howard will play at all the rest of the season, as head coach Doug Pederson suggested Friday the veteran tailback was still not yet cleared for contact. Sanders was disappointing in a solid matchup against the Giants in Week 14 as a starter, registering just 69 total yards despite close to 20 touches, but he'll have yet another opportunity to shine against the Redskins, who have allowed at least 100 yards rushing to running backs in seven of the last eight…read more

  • Finishes winning effort

    Sanders rushed 15 times for 45 yards and caught four of five targets for 24 yards in Monday night's 23-17 overtime win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Sanders ended with nearly 20 touches, but missed a period of time while dealing with leg cramps. Although he returned to finish the game, backup Boston Scott capitalized on Sanders' absence, totaling 128 yards and a touchdown on his 16 touches. While that situation will surely leave some fantasy owners rueing Sanders' missed opportunities, the fact he was able to return at least offers some solace ahead of Week 15's tilt against Washington.

  • Starting again Week 14

    Sanders will be the Eagles' starting running back Monday against the Giants, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.

    Analysis: Sanders is getting the nod with Jordan Howard (shoulder) inactive once again. In three prior contests with Howard missing from the Eagles' backfield, Sanders averaged 16.7 touches for 79.3 yard from scrimmage while scoring one receiving touchdown. Behind Sanders, Jay Ajayi and Boston Scott represent Philly's other available running backs.

  • Records first-quarter receiving TD

    Sanders ran for 83 yards on 17 rush attempts and caught all five of his targets for 22 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 37-31 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: The rookie back was handed the keys as Philadelphia's workhorse against Miami's 31st-ranked rush defense and turned in an impressive 4.9 yards-per-carry average, with a 15-yard receiving TD to boot. With Jordan Howard (shoulder) having practiced on a limited basis all week leading up to Sunday's contest and remaining questionable for Week 14, Sanders may once again be in line for a hefty workload as the Eagles take on a Giants defense that has contained opposing running backs to a respectable…read more

  • Expected to handle lead role

    Sanders is expected to once again handle the lead role out of the Eagles backfield after Jordan Howard (shoulder) was ruled out prior to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Howard is now slated to miss his third straight contest with a shoulder injury. The Eagles had opted not to rule out their nominal starting running back until hours before kickoff in either of the previous two games, so it's a bit surprising to see the organization make the decision early this week, but it's a benefit to Sanders' fantasy owners considering their opponent, the Dolphins, have allowed at least 100 rushing yards in all but two games this season.

    Sanders rushed the ball 12 times for 63 yards in the team's Week 12 loss to the Seahawks. He also added three receptions on five targets for 23 yards.

    Analysis: Sanders tallied 15 total touches, matching the highest mark of his rookie campaign. He was largely bottled up on the ground in the first half, but he managed more than five yards on seven of his carries overall. Sanders also contributed in the passing game, and he has now recorded at least three receptions in five of his last six contests. While Sanders appears to be gaining a foothold in the offense, Jordan Howard (shoulder) may be ready to return in Week 13 as the Eagles take on the Dolphins,…read more

  • Should lead Howard-less backfield

    Sanders is expected to handle a lead role out of the Eagles backfield with Jordan Howard (shoulder) inactive for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.

    Analysis: While Howard sat out the Week 11 loss to the Patriots, Sanders saw the highest offensive snap share of his young career (85 percent), but only parlayed his 13 touches into 47 yards. The Eagles' offense struggled as a whole to move the ball on a tough New England defense, but the home matchup with Seattle should prove more favorable for the rookie. That being said, coach Doug Pederson has historically favored used a committee at running back, so it wouldn't be surprising if the newly signed Jay…read more

  • May garner lead role sans Howard

    Sanders is expected to see the majority of the touches out of the backfield Sunday against the Seahawks with Jordan Howard (shoulder) unlikely to play, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriots-News reports.

    Analysis: Howard is officially listed as questionable for the contest, but he's expected to be inactive for a second straight game after failing to practice fully at any point this week. Assuming that's the case, Sanders looms as the next man up on the depth chart, though his role on offense may not be quite as sizable as it was in the Week 11 loss to the Patriots. Sanders played 85 percent of the offensive snaps in that contest but managed only 47 total yards on 15 touches, while backup Boston Scott…read more

  • Ineffective in lead role

    Sanders carried the ball 11 times for 38 yards and caught two of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Neither offense had much success, but the Eagles' running game in particular struggled with Sanders in the No. 1 spot. Jordan Howard's timetable to recover from his shoulder injury remains unclear, but the newly re-signed Jay Ajayi could be a bigger factor in Week 12 after not seeing a touch in this one. If Sanders does get another start next week, though, the rookie could make an impact against a Seattle defense that's in the bottom five in the league in rushing TDs allowed.

  • Should headline Week 11 backfield

    Sanders is expected to serve as the Eagles' lead running back Sunday against the Patriots with Jordan Howard (shoulder) not expected to play, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: The Eagles are listing Howard as questionable for the contest, but he's expected to be included among the team's seven inactives, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With Howard out of the picture this week, Sanders should be in store for his heaviest snap count to date after playing no more than 54 percent of the Eagles' offensive plays in any of the team's first nine contests. Though Sanders is averaging a strong 4.4 yards per carry this season and profiles as…read more

  • Could lead backfield if Howard sits

    Sanders may be in store for the lead role out of the Philadelphia backfield Sunday against the Patriots with Jordan Howard (shoulder) listed as questionable for the contest, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Though Howard was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, coach Doug Pederson noted prior to Friday's session that the Eagles' top ground option hasn't yet been cleared to resume taking contact.
