Hardly used Monday Sanders rushed just twice for 27 yards and caught three of four targets for 28 yards in Monday night's 41-21 loss to the Cowboys.
Impact Sanders fell victim to the game flow Monday, when the Eagles offense struggled to stay on the field in the first half and was forced to play catch-up by passing often in the second. In fact, the tailback's first carry didn't come until midway into the second quarter. Sanders went for 24 yards on that attempt, but he rather frustratingly only garnered one more carry for the remainder of the contest. With Philadelphia's running backs totaling just three carries overall, his work wasn't going elsewhere and Sanders at least salvaged a little value in the passing game, but his Week 3 outing nonetheless fell well short of expectations. Without a touchdown through his first three games under coach Nick Sirianni, Sanders will strive to finally find pay dirt while demanding a much larger workload this Sunday versus the Chiefs.

Tending to chest injury Sanders was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's practice due to a chest injury.
Impact As the Eagles prepare for a Monday night matchup with the Cowboys, Sanders is apparently banged up after taking 14 touches and playing 37 snaps in the Eagles' Week 2 loss to the 49ers. The fact that the Eagles didn't hold him out of practice entirely in their first session of Week 3 is a promising sign that he'll be ready to go Monday, but Sanders' activity in workouts Thursday and Friday will still bear watching.

Limited to 59 total yards Sanders rushed 13 times for 55 yards in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the 49ers. He added one reception for four yards.
Impact Sanders was fairly efficient with his opportunities on the ground, but both game script and Jalen Hurts' involvement in the rushing attack limited his volume. Perhaps more concerning was Sanders' complete lack of involvement as a receiver, with Kenneth Gainwell cutting into his workload in that area. The result was a fairly ineffective performance, though Sanders could bounce back in what should be a better matchup Week 3 against Dallas. Through two games, Sanders is averaging 16.5 touches and 86 total yards per game.

Back to full participation Sanders (ankle/rest) practiced in full Thursday.
Impact The Eagles listed Sanders as a limited participant Wednesday with an ankle injury and "rest" next to his name, indicating he got a maintenance day of sorts. With a return to full capacity one day later, he's set to lead the team's backfield in Week 2 against the 49ers. In Philly's season opener this past Sunday in Atlanta, Sanders handled a 66-percent share of the offensive snaps, resulting in 19 touches for 113 total yards.

Logs limited practice Wednesday Sanders was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an ankle injury and rest.
Impact Sanders was one of three starters on offense to have an injury and "rest" next to his name on Wednesday's practice report. The others -- tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring/rest) and right guard Brandon Brooks (knee/rest) -- were unable to practice at all. As a result, Sanders seems like he'll be OK for Week 2 against the 49ers, but his activity level in the coming days will be something to monitor. In Sunday's season opener in Atlanta, he turned 19 touches into 113 yards from scrimmage on a 66-percent share of the offensive snaps.

Trademark efficiency in Week 1 win Sanders rushed 15 times for 74 yards and brought in four of five targets for 39 yards in the Eagles' 32-6 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact Sanders' final numbers were fitting, considering the third-year back often has turned in highly efficient performances on a yards-per-touch basis but still seen his overall opportunities capped. Despite the change at the top for Philadelphia, the same held true Sunday, but Sanders still turned in an encouraging effort from a fantasy perspective. The explosive 24-year-old will look to improve on his already strong season-opening numbers in a tough matchup against the 49ers at home Week 2.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • PHILADELPHIAEAGLES.COM
Pair of carries in preseason debut Sanders rushed two times for 13 yards in the Eagles' 35-0 preseason loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.
Impact One of Sanders' runs went for 10 yards, making up the bulk of his production during his brief time on the field. The third-year back reportedly has re-solidified his grip on the starting job after opening training camp splitting some first-team reps with Boston Scott, but given quarterback Jalen Hurts was a late scratch due to illness Thursday, Sanders may not have an opportunity to play with the second-year signal-caller until Philadelphia's regular-season opener against the Falcons on Sept. 12.
