JORDAN HOWARD
Live analysis: Eagles' Jordan Howard is out; what that means for Boston Scott, Kenny Gainwell Several observations from the Eagles' game against the New York Giants.
NOVEMBER 28, 2021 • DELAWAREONLINE.COM
Ruled out Howard (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Impact Howard kept a role even with Miles Sanders returning from IR last week, but the 27-year-old then suffered a knee sprain and missed the second half of a 40-29 win over the Saints. Sanders and Boston Scott were close to 50-50 in terms of snaps after halftime, while Kenneth Gainwell was a healthy scratch for the first time all year. Gainwell may be back in the lineup this week, but Sanders is the safest bet for carries and touches, followed by Giant slayer Scott. Howard's next chance to play will be Week 13 at the Jets, with the Eagles then heading on bye Week 14.

Idle for another practice Howard (knee) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni already noted earlier this week that he doesn't expect Howard to play Sunday against the Giants, so the running back's second straight absence from practice comes as little surprise. Expect the Eagles to formally rule Howard out for Week 12 following Friday's session. With Howard out of the picture this weekend, Miles Sanders and Boston Scott could both be in store for slight upticks in carries, while rookie Kenneth Gainwell will likely dress as the No. 3 back after being a healthy inactive for last week's win over the Saints.

No practice, as expected Howard (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's walkthrough session.
Impact Coach Nick Sirianni said Monday that Howard is unlikely to play in Sunday's game against the Giants. The veteran back took on a sizable role the past month and continued to see carries even with Miles Sanders back from IR last week, but then Howard had the misfortune of suffering a knee injury that will cost him at least one game and possibly more. Sanders and Boston Scott split snaps after Howard's early exit from the Week 11 win over New Orleans, while rookie Kenneth Gainwell was a healthy scratch for the first time in his career.

Likely out against Giants Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said Monday that Howard (knee) is unlikely to play in the team's Week 12 game against the Giants, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Impact Howard suffered a knee sprain in the third quarter of Sunday's win over the Saints and likely will miss at least one game due to the injury. If Howard ultimately is held out Week 12, Boston Scott should serve as the primary backup to Miles Sanders. Kenneth Gainwell also would suit up and have a small role in the game plan after he was a healthy inactive against New Orleans.

Picks up knee injury Sunday Howard suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game against the Saints.
Impact In the third quarter, Howard was upended, took a hit to his knee and also landed awkwardly on his helmet. The initial bump appears to be the one that'll keep him on the sidelines, and he'll come out of Week 11 with 10 carries for 63 yards. Miles Sanders and Boston Scott figure to get a small boost in volume as long as Howard is out.

Reverts to backup role Howard should take on a backup role Sunday against the Saints after Miles Sanders (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Howard saw double-digit carries in each of the last three games with Sanders on IR, and he totaled 211 yards and three touchdowns on 41 carries. However, he'll now compete with Boston Scott for a secondary role.

Leads Eagles in rushing Sunday Howard carried the ball 12 times for 83 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Broncos.
Impact He led Philly in rushing on the afternoon, although Boston Scott was hot on his heels with 81 yards on 11 carries. Howard has 211 rushing yards and three TDs in three games since rejoining the Eagles, but with Miles Sanders eligible to return from his ankle injury in Week 11 against the Saints, his touch volume and potentially even his roster spot are not guaranteed.
