Questionable, expects to play Scott (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, but he believes he'll be ready despite missing practice this week, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inq...

Impact Miles Sanders (ankle) has been cleared from the injury report, while Jordan Howard (knee) is confirmed out for the second straight week. It's setting up nicely for Sanders to have a big game, though Scott should also get his share of snaps and touches if he shakes off the illness before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Rookie Kenneth Gainwell is Option C, having mostly seen playing time in clear passing situations this season. Scott has plenty of experience as a passing-down back in his own right, but the Eagles also use him on early downs now, especially when Howard isn't in the picture.

Still ill Scott (illness) wasn't in attendance for practice Thursday, Chris Franklin of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact A non-COVID-19-related illness kept Scott off the field for the second day in a row, muddling his status as Sunday's game against the Jets approaches. Since Scott isn't dealing with an injury, he at least appears to be a more realistic candidate to play than Jordan Howard (knee), who sat out last week's loss to the Giants and still hasn't returned to practice. Meanwhile, the Eagles' top two contributors on the ground -- lead back Miles Sanders and quarterback Jalen Hurts -- are nursing ankle injuries, but both players were practicing Thursday and have expressed confidence that they'll be ready to suit up Sunday.

Eagles look to rebound and continue dominance over Jets

The Philadelphia Eagles have dominated their series with the New York Jets having won all 11 meetings

DECEMBER 2, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Misses practice with illness Scott (illness) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact He'll likely have time to get healthy before Sunday's game against the Jets, but it does add another layer of intrigue to the Eagles' backfield situation heading into that game. Scott dominated touches after Miles Sanders' early exit from Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Giants, but Scott had a crucial lost fumble at the end of the game, and Sanders then managed to practice Wednesday (albeit on a limited basis). Meanwhile, Jordan Howard (knee) missed another practice and seems least likely of the bunch to play, leaving rookie Kenneth Gainwell as the only healthy RB on the roster as of Wednesday. There is a scenario where Scott handles the lead role this week, if he recovers from the illness while Sanders fails to overcome the ankle injury. Injury reports Thursday and Friday should help sort out the mess.

Eagles grounded by own mistakes against Giants, 4 turnovers

The Philadelphia Eagles saw their two-game winning streak end with a 13-7 loss to the New York Giants

NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Finds end zone Scott ran for 64 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries while catching two passes for eight yards on three targets against the Giants on Sunday.

Impact The Eagles gave Scott 15 carries to Miles Sanders' nine -- a decision they might regret given that Scott lost a fumble in the the 13-7 loss. Scott is generally a capable player when given the usage and he'll face a weak Jets defense in Week 13, but guessing the playing time split between himself, Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell and Jordan Howard (knee) is a perilous task.

Eight total touches in win Scott rushed six times for 16 yards and caught both of his targets for four yards in Sunday's 40-29 win over the Saints.

Impact Each of Scott's catches came in the first half, but he didn't see a single carry until after halftime. He got the first series after the break to himself, and then Jordan Howard hurt his knee and opened up more work for the 26-year-old. With Howard likely to miss Week 12, the Louisiana Tech product will likely be Miles Sanders' main backup on the road against the Giants.

NOVEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Slated for backup role Scott will return to a backup role Sunday against the Saints after Miles Sanders (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Scott failed to record any carries across the first six weeks of the season but totaled 33 carries for 181 yards and two touchdowns across the last three games while filling in for Sanders. However, Sanders should reclaim his role as the lead back now that he's healthy, while Scott and Jordan Howard should compete for secondary duties.

Tops 100 scrimmage yards in win Scott carried the ball 11 times for 81 yards and caught both his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Broncos.

Impact The 81 rushing yards and 105 scrimmage yards were both season highs for the fourth-year RB, although Jordan Howard topped him by two yards for the team lead in the former category. With Miles Sanders eligible to return from his ankle injury in Week 11 against the Saints, however, neither Scott nor Howard are guaranteed to keep their current role in the Eagles' offense.
