Banged-up Eagles have tough challenge running vs. Washington
The Philadelphia Eagles have the top rushing attack in the NFL and Sunday they’ll face a Washington defense they gashed for 238 rushing yards 12 days earlierDECEMBER 29, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Uncertain for Sunday Howard didn't practice Wednesday while tending to a stinger in his neck, but Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said the running back hopes to be ready for Sunday's game against Washi...
Impact With Miles Sanders (hand) already out for at least one week, an absence from Howard could leave Boston Scott to handle a sizable workload on the ground, with rookie Kenneth Gainwell also in line for an enhanced role. At this stage, Howard still is optimistic he'll be ready to go for Sunday, though he missed eight games with a similar injury back in 2019. Sanders, meanwhile, hasn't been ruled out beyond the upcoming game and isn't expected to land on injured reserve.

Nick Sirianni, Jalen Hurts have Eagles on verge of playoffs

Could play Week 17 Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Howard (neck) could play Sunday in Washington, depending on how quickly the running back recovers from the stinger he suffered in the Week 16 v...
Impact Before departing with the injury, Howard carried nine times for 37 yards and reeled in two of four targets for 19 yards. If he demonstrates enough progress in recovery over the next few days, Howard could find himself as the Eagles' lead ball carrier against the Football Team, as Sirianni has already ruled out No. 1 back Miles Sanders (hand) for Week 17. Beyond Howard, Boston Scott and rookie Kenneth Gainwell loom as challengers to poach snaps at running back, while mobile quarterback Jalen Hurts is always a threat to pilfer red-zone carries.

Suffers stinger Sunday Howard sustained a stinger during Sunday's contest versus the Giants.
Impact Miles Sanders departed prior to Howard with a hand issue of his own, and now Howard has been forced to the locker room in the fourth quarter. If Howard is unable to return, he'll end Week 16 with nine carries for 37 yards and two catches (on four targets) for 19 yards. Beyond Sanders and Howard, the Eagles have Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell as options to fill in in the backfield.

Bumps up to full Thursday Howard (knee) was a full participant at Thursday's walkthrough.
Impact Howard opened Week 16 prep with a limited listing on Wednesday's injury report before bumping up to all activity one day later. The same can't be said for Miles Sanders (quadriceps), who has yet to practice this week. It's unclear if Sanders is trending toward an absence Sunday against the Giants, but Howard could be in line for more touches than normal, even if the former is active. In five appearances for the Eagles this season, Howard has averaged 5.2 yards on his 66 carries and scored three touchdowns.

Starts week limited Howard (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Impact After missing back-to-back games with the knee injury, Howard returned Tuesday night and took 15 carries for 69 yards in a 27-17 win over Washington, handling a sizable role behind lead back Miles Sanders (20 touches for 146 yards). Meanwhile, Kenneth Gainwell logged just six offensive snaps and Boston Scott only played special teams. Assuming no setbacks with the knee, Howard could push for a similar workload this Sunday against the last-place Giants.

Heavy workload in backup role Howard rushed 15 times for 69 yards and recovered a fumble in the Eagles' 27-17 win over Washington on Tuesday night.
Impact Howard's return from a two-game absence due to a knee injury was a success, and even with Miles Sanders excelling in his lead-back capacity, the veteran was able to put together a strong performance in his own right. Howard has logged double-digit carries in all five games he's seen action in this season, but his complete lack of a passing game role does cap his overall upside. Additionally, it's worth noting the Eagles had the luxury of running 70 total plays Tuesday, which afforded Howard the luxury of a hefty workload despite Sanders logging 18 carries himself.

Ready to play Tuesday Howard (knee) was a full practice participant Friday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Coach Nick Sirianni told the media before Friday's practice that Howard would be back for the Eagles' Week 15 matchup with Washington. With the game now pushed back to Tuesday and Howard logging a full practice, all signs point to the veteran stepping back into his committee role off the bench behind Miles Sanders.

Limited again in practice Howard (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Three of the Eagles' key contributors on the ground -- Howard, running back Miles Sanders (ankle) and quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) -- were all limited for the second practice in a row, a development that bodes well for each player's chances of gaining clearance for Sunday's game against Washington. Since he missed two straight games before the Eagles' Week 14 bye while Hurts missed one and Sanders missed none, Howard is likely most in need of returning to full participation in Friday's practice to guarantee his availability for Sunday. If cleared to play, Howard would likely handle a complementary role behind Sanders.

Returns in limited capacity Howard (knee) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough.
Impact Howard was sidelined for the Eagles' final two contests before the team's Week 14 bye, the result of a knee injury. Wednesday's activity marked his first since picking up the issue Week 11, so he appears to be on a potential path to active status Sunday against Washington. Both Howard and Miles Sanders (ankle) were listed as limited to kick off Week 15 prep, so the Eagles could have a completely intact backfield in the near future.

Month after rout by Colts, Jets D gets 'do-over' vs. Eagles
The New York Jets’ defense was at rock bottom a month agoDECEMBER 3, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Out for Week 13 Howard (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Howard hasn't returned to practice and will now miss a second straight game, but the Eagles' upcoming Week 14 bye improves his odds of avoiding a third absence. Boston Scott (illness) is listed as questionable for Week 13, while Miles Sanders (ankle) has been cleared from the injury report. Behind them, rookie Kenneth Gainwell has been getting some snaps, particularly on pass plays.

Not practicing Thursday Howard (knee) wasn't present for Thursday's practice, Chris Franklin of the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Impact With no practice reps in either of the Eagles' first two days of Week 13 prep, Howard appears to be trending toward a second straight absence Sunday against the Jets. Meanwhile, fellow depth option Boston Scott (illness) was also missing from Thursday's practice, leaving rookie Kenny Gainwell as the only fully healthy back on the roster with starter Miles Sanders nursing a sore ankle.

Misses practice Howard (knee) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Howard didn't practice at all last week and was ruled out Friday ahead of a 13-7 loss to the Giants. Miles Sanders left the game with an ankle injury but was then listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday, while Boston Scott (illness) missed practice after handling the lead role throughout the second half Sunday. Of the three, Howard seems least likely to play, though a return to practice Thursday or Friday might change that outlook.
