Jordan Howard - 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.
