The Eagles are placing Miles Sanders on injured reserve with an ankle injury (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). Sanders will miss the Birds’ next three games, at minimum, but the hope is that he’ll return soon after he’s eligible to do so. 
Sanders was forced out of Sunday’s 33-22 loss to the Raiders and his ankle hasn’t responded to treatment much over the past week. Now, he’ll be shelved for the next few games against the Lions, Chargers, and Broncos, with a chance to return on Nov. 21 when the Eagles host the Saints.
So far this year, Sanders has amassed 300 rushing yards off of 63 totes, good for a 4.8 yards per carry average. He also has 19 grabs for 118 yards, though he’s yet to find paydirt via the air or the ground.
Sanders, 24, has amassed 1,985 rushing yards since making his debut in 2019. In 2020, he finished out with a career-high 5.3 ypc and a total of 867 rushing yards despite missing four regular season games.
The Eagles are now left with Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott as the only running backs on the 53-man roster. That could open the door for veteran Jordan Howard, who currently resides on the Eagles’ taxi squad.
Really stinks for Miles. They refused to use him properly for weeks, then they finally start giving him the ball and this happens.
Way she goes boys
It’s water under the fridge now
sometimes she goes somestimes she doesn’t. she didn’t go
Literally dying in fantasy football rn bc of the Eagles mismanagement of him XD
Dodger dude,
If you wrapped your fantasy season around Miles Sanders , you were not going anywhere anyway
Especially when so many waiver claims could have been had during the season (Patterson, Herbert, Chubb, Williams)
In what league was Chubb available as a waiver claim?
I wouldn’t exactly say I wrapped my season around him but for a top 40 pick u would expect a bit more than 5 points a week… he hasn’t started for me since week 3
im sure this is because they didnt establish the run game
Eagles should trade for Marlon Mack; Siriani knows him. Just agree to make the Wentz trade a 2nd rounder & forget the conditional 1st. Sounds fair.
Sure, a team going nowhere is in a hurry to turn a 1st rounder into a 2nd…
Horrible take, just stop. Indy can use him if he’s that valuable.
