Miles Sanders - Headed for Week 18 absenceHead coach Nick Sirianni said Sanders (hand) isn't expected to play Saturday against the Cowboys, though the Eagles are hopeful the running back will be ready to go for the wild-ca...ImpactWhile they were without their top back Week 17, the Eagles were still able to punch their ticket to the postseason with a 20-16 win over Washington plus some help from other teams. In place of Sanders, the Eagles turned to Boston Scott (14 carries for 47 yards and two touchdowns) as their lead option on the ground, though Jordan Howard (11 carries for 26 yards) saw a steady amount of involvement, too. With little at stake for the Eagles in Week 18, Sanders looks like he'll have another opportunity to let his fractured hand heal, but he should have a decent chance at being ready to go for the start of the postseason.
