Boston Scott - Misses practice with illness Scott (illness) didn't practice Wednesday. Impact He'll likely have time to get healthy before Sunday's game against the Jets, but it does add another layer of intrigue to the Eagles' backfield situation heading into that game. Scott dominated touches after Miles Sanders' early exit from Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Giants, but Scott had a crucial lost fumble at the end of the game, and Sanders then managed to practice Wednesday (albeit on a limited basis). Meanwhile, Jordan Howard (knee) missed another practice and seems least likely of the bunch to play, leaving rookie Kenneth Gainwell as the only healthy RB on the roster as of Wednesday. There is a scenario where Scott handles the lead role this week, if he recovers from the illness while Sanders fails to overcome the ankle injury. Injury reports Thursday and Friday should help sort out the mess.
