The #Dolphins are trading their fifth round pick for #49ers RB Matt Breida, source said.

Matt Breida often plays through injuries and has averaged 5.0 yards per carry on 381 rushes since coming into the league in 2017. In Miami, Breida should be a solid complement to Jordan Howard in the backfield.

Dolphins and former Eagles' RB Jordan Howard reached agreement on a two-year deal worth north of $10 million, per source.

Miami comes in with another solid signing this free agency. Jordan Howard will add to the Dolphins depleted backfield as a veteran runner who should average about 4.4 yards per carry in 2020.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (ankle) and guard Brandon Brooks (shoulder) were ruled out against the Giants after suffering injuries in the first half.

Scott had a huge day with Sanders out of commission, scoring three TDs on the day. Howard was active but didn't see much time on the field. Sanders' status for first round of the playoffs is certainly up in the air at this point, meaning Scott could see another big workload. Even if Howard gets more snaps, Scott will at least be heavily involved in the passing game.

Eagles RB Jordan Howard (shoulder) has been cleared to return and will play in Week 17 against the Giants.

Head coach Doug Pederson said Howard will be a goal line and situational back in the gameplan. With how effective Miles Sanders has been, it’s certainly possible to think Howard will be on a snap count Sunday to get him back into game mode and keep him healthy for the playoffs, should they Eagles get there. Sanders is still a strong option, Howard is a bit of a gamble but not a terrible flex option. But you should still proceed with caution.
