Howard likely to miss Week 12

Eagles RB Jordan Howard will "likely" miss Sunday's game vs. the Giants with a sprained knee, HC Nick Sirianni said Monday. Sirianni added that Howard has a good chance to return for Week 13. Howard was basically splitting carries with RB Miles Sanders before exiting yesterday's game, so his absence is a boost for Sanders. Of course, RB Boston Scott will remain involved. And we'll likely see RB Kenneth Gainwell activated for Week 12 after he was a healthy scratch last week.
