Miles Sanders Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Eagles RB Miles Sanders (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington. RB Jordan Howard (stinger) is listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. If Howard is able to play this weekend, he’d likely split backfield work with Boston Scott. If Howard is out, Scott becomes a strong RB2 play.

Eagles RBs Miles Sanders (hand) and Jordan Howard (stinger) did not practice on Wednesday. We know that Sanders will miss this weekend's game vs. Washington with his fractured hand. Howard's availability is uncertain. We might be looking at a Boston Scott + Kenneth Gainwell Eagles backfield on Sunday.

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni told reporters Monday that RB Miles Sanders will miss Sunday's game against Washington with the broken bone in his left hand but that the team is not placing him on IR. That obviously means they hope to get him back within the next 3 games. It's nice to have him ruled out early for Week 17, though, so we can drop Sanders from most redraft fantasy football rosters. We'll need to see whether RB Jordan Howard is ready to play after sustaining a stinger in Sunday's win over the Giants. That injury makes Boston Scott the top early option on waivers.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders broke a bone in his left hand in Sunday's win over the Giants, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Sanders will reportedly have further testing today to determine whether he can play through the injury. If he can't, then Jordan Howard and Boston Scott would likely be in line to share lead-RB duties for Sunday's visit to Washington.

The Eagles "fear" that RB Miles Sanders broke his hand in Sunday's win over the Giants, Pro Football Talk reports. Sanders is scheduled for additional testing on Monday, so we should have a better idea of his status then. With RB Jordan Howard dealing with a stinger, the Eagles could be down to RBs Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell against Washington next weekend.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders is questionable to return to today's game against the Giants with a hand injury. We'll watch for updates on his situation.

Update: Sanders has been ruled out for the game.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders (quad) did not practice all week but isn’t listed on the final injury report. It looks like the team was just getting Sanders some rest after he carried 18 times in Tuesday night’s win over Washington. Unless we hear that Sanders’ quad is a concern, he’ll be a RB2 with upside in Sunday’s plus matchup vs. the Giants.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders (quad) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. It's possible that Philly is just being cautious coming off Tuesday's night's win over Washington, but Sanders' status for Sunday's game vs. the Giants is at least in some doubt. His absence would leave Jordan Howard as the Eagles' likely lead back, with Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell behind him.

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said Friday that RB Miles Sanders (ankle) and Jordan Howard (knee) will play vs. Washington. Both guys put in full practices on Friday, but we don’t have Philly’s final injury report yet because this game got moved to Tuesday. Sanders, Howard and Boston Scott all figure to be involved against The Football Team.

The Washington at Philadelphia game originally scheduled for Sunday has been moved to Tuesday at 7 pm ET due to The Football Team's COVID outbreak, insider Albert Breer reports. This game won't be on the DFS main slate but will still count for Week 15 in season-long leagues. We'll see if any of Washington's players currently on the COVID list are activated by Tuesday. The extra 2 days can't hurt Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is recovering from what's been reported as a high-ankle sprain. Washington WR Terry McLaurin and RB J.D. McKissic will have a better chance to clear concussion protocol before kickoff.
