The Philadelphia Eagles have designated RB Miles Sanders (ankle) to return from IR.

Related Players: Jordan Howard, Boston Scott, Kenneth Gainwell Jr.

What is already a messy backfield will only get worse if/when Sanders returns in the next three weeks. Sanders may have lost his starting role with the emergence of Howard. The backfield touch distribution is going to be important to watch the first week Sanders is on the field.

Cowboys WRs Amari Cooper (hamstring) and CeeDee Lamb (knee) are questionable for Week 9 against the Denver Broncos. Both are expected to play.

Seems more procedural than anything else. Fire up both.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (calf) and WRs Amari Cooper (hamstring) and CeeDee Lamb (ankle) were limited Wednesday.

Prescott was expected to be limited and did what was asked, a good sign heading towards Friday. Cooper and Lamb being limited is no surprise as they will get every opportunity to rest ahead of games.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said he expects QB Dak Prescott (calf) will be "full go" for Thursday's practice.

Seems like great news for Dak's Week 9 status against the Broncos, although owners should continue to monitor as he was sore after practice last week. Like we said earlier today, the Cowboys play an early afternoon game, so we'll have plenty of time to know if Prescott is active this time around.

Dak Prescott said he has a chance to return next week against the Broncos.

“For sure. I was getting prepared to play this game,” Prescott said. “I’m a guy that takes it day-by-day, moment-at-moment, and right now, I’m going to celebrate this win with the guys and worry about rehabbing and getting everything back in order tomorrow.”

Prescott was injured on the final play of the Week 6 overtime victory over the Patriots. The Cowboys, who had a bye last week, listed Prescott as limited in practice all week and questionable for the game. They called him a game-time decision, though, all signs pointed to Rush playing, the story said. With a comfortable lead in the division and an extra game this year, the thought was to not rush Dak back, who is also coming off a serious ankle injury. The good news is the Cowboys play early in Week 9, which is a home game against the Broncos, so owners will have much more notice as far as Prescott's status goes.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (calf) is questionable for Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings after having soreness following Thursday's practice.

If Dak cannot play Week 8, it would be a major downgrade to the pass catchers in Dallas. The Cowboys beat expects a resolution prior to Sunday.

Eagles RB Miles Sanders (ankle) was placed on IR Friday. He is expected back after the minimum three games missed according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

Gainwell and Scott has set roles for the next few weeks. Sanders's injury looked a lot worse than a three-week injury so a short IR stint is good news.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (calf) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Head coach Mike McCarthy wants to make sure Prescott is ready for Sunday night's game, so fewer reps during the week should be expected the new couple of days.

Dak Prescott wasn’t wearing a protective boot at the team’s facility on Monday and team owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan Monday that the team feels positive about where Prescott is right now.

Dak injured his calf on the game's final play and was in a boot after the game. The bye week came at a good time and there hasn't seem to be a lot of concern with him missing time. Be sure to check out the injury report on Wednesday, it wouldn't be shocking to see him limited at least to start the week.
