Suiting up in Week 17 Howard (stinger) is listed as active Sunday at Washington. Impact Howard picked up a stinger last Sunday against the Giants and opened Week 17 prep with no activity at Wednesday's session. When he stepped on the practice field Thursday, he noticeably was sporting extra protection around his shoulder pads, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Howard capped the week with back-to-back limited listings but still earned a questionable tag. All along, he seemed poised to be available to the Eagles offense, and indeed he'll be just that Sunday. With Miles Sanders (hand) out of commission, Howard will join forces with Boston Scott out of the backfield, while Kenneth Gainwell is on hand as a change-of-pace option. When Sanders previously sat out Weeks 8-10 this season, Philadelphia operated with a similar setup, which amounted to 41 carries for 211 yards and three touchdowns for Howard across those three contests. Meanwhile, Scott had 35 touches for 205 yards from scrimmage and two TDs, and Gainwell turned 18 touches into 44 total yards and one score.
