Impact With Miles Sanders (hand) already ruled out, the Eagles hope Howard can join Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell in the backfield. That was the plan Weeks 8-10 when Sanders was sidelined by an ankle injury, with Howard averaging 13.7 carries for 70.3 yards and 1.0 TD in a three-game stretch. Scott was also reasonably productive with 11.0 carries for 60.3 yards and 0.67 TDs, while Gainwell averaged only six touches and 12.1 yards per game. In any case, Howard could be a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 ET kickoff this Sunday, having finished the week with back-to-back limited practices after sitting out Wednesday's session.
