Impact Sanders was forced out in the fourth quarter Sunday after hurting his right ankle at the end of a third-down catch. Prior to his exit, he paced the Eagles backfield with 24 carries for 120 yards and also hauled in all three targets for 22 yards. The original injury forced a stint on injured reserve, but with the team heading into a Week 14 bye the running back is confident he'll be ready once Philadelphia next plays Sunday, Dec. 19 against Washington. Sanders joins Jordan Howard (knee) as injured Eagles running backs, leaving Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell as the healthiest at the position on the team's active roster.

Miles Sanders - Injures ankle, not returning Sunday Sanders won't return to Sunday's road game against the Jets due to an ankle injury.
Impact Sanders was approaching a career high in rushing at the time of his injury in the fourth quarter, when he clutched at his ankle at the end of a third-down catch. He remained down on the Jets' sideline for a few minutes before walking back to the Eagles' bench. After examining him in the blue medical tent, Philly has opted to keep Sanders out for the remainder of the contest, likely due to all the ankle issues he's dealt with this season. With Jordan Howard (knee) inactive Sunday, the team is left with Boston Scott and Kenneth Gainwell in the backfield.

Impact Nelson exited with the shoulder issue in the first half and spent time in the medical tent. He's been ruled out since, though the exact nature of his injury remains unclear.

Impact Johnson left the game in the first half, and he will now have the chance to heal during the team's bye in Week 14. He has played nearly exclusively on special teams this season, so his absence isn't likely to affect Philadelphia's defense.
