The Detroit Lions’ Week 8 opponent, the Philadelphia Eagles, have declared their injury designations, and they will be without their starting running back, Miles Sanders.
Let’s take a look at the Eagles’ injury report, with the starters bolded.
Headed to injured reserve
- RB Miles Sanders (ankle/foot)
Sanders will be placed on injured reserve coach Nick Sirianni said Friday, and the Eagles will turn to rookie Kenneth Gainwell to take his place as their starting running back. He will likely split touches with Boston Scott and possibly Jordan Howard, who is expected to be elevated or signed from the practice squad.
