The former second round pick was the center of trade rumors throughout the preseason, but Trey Sermon would eventually be cut before landing in Philadelphia.

An immediate role may not be available for Sermon, but remember that this same Eagles team just gave Jordan Howard 86 rushing attempts in the year 2021. Eight of those rushing attempts were from within the five-yard line, more than both Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell.

Miles Sanders remains out.

As the tweet went on to say, he’s been sidelined since Aug. 14. There’s been optimism he’ll be back Week 1, but next week’s practices will be important, Berman went on to say. Scott and Gainwell would likely split the workload if Sanders isn't ready for Week 1.

Miles Sanders was one of seven Eagles to not participate in join practice with the Browns yesterday, and in his steed, Kenneth Gainwell performed well as the team's RB1.

Gainwell was involved in the passing game during team drills, catching balls, and maybe more notably, picking up a blitz that was "one of the highlights of that period." This comes on the heels of SI.com's John McMullen remarking, "[Gainwell] seems to be penciled in for high-leverage situations like third downs, hurry-up offense, and goal-line work." The Philadelphia sophomore is rounding into a terrific late-round fantasy pick.

The Eagles said that Miles Sanders would miss Tuesday’s practice because of a hamstring injury.

The story pointed out Sanders has wanted more chances, despite missing nine games over the last two years. Sanders has been mostly unimpressive even when in action. The Eagles lack depth at the position, especially a banger who can go between the tackles, so Sanders is expected to have a big role in the backfield this year. Gainwell and Scott will pick up the slack for now.

The article purports that Gainwell will take a lot of the duties on third downs, hurry-up offense, and goal-line work.

There have been reports all summer about Miles Sanders taking a multitude of reps with the 2nd team offense, and although coach Nick Sirianni is claiming that "everybody rotates," the Gainwell drumbeat has been sounding for months now. If Gainwell is the lead back in these high-leverage situations, he could sneak into FLEX territory by building on his 33-reception, six-touchdown rookie season.

The Philadelphia Eagles are bringing back RB Boston Scott on a one-year deal.

Sanders may not be the third down back he used to be, but he is a thorn in the side of other Eagles backs, especially Sanders and Gainwell. Scott has little fantasy relevance unless one or both misses significant time.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (ankle) and RB Kenneth Gainwell (ankle) were limited Wednesday, while RBs Jordan Howard (neck) and Miles Sanders (hand) did not practice.

Hurts is expected to play Week 17, while the Eagles RB situation is far from set.

The tweet added the team hopes to get Sanders back soon, and as a result, he will not go on IR, according to the tweet. Howard could get a huge role this week against Washington, and as Clark added, his MRI for a stinger came back good, so he should be ready to go for Week 17. Scott and Gainwell likely mix in as well but Howard should be the main, early-down guy.
