The Philadelphia Eagles activated Miles Sanders from injured reserve and returned him to their 53-man roster, according to an official announcement from the team. Sanders is now eligible to play in Philly’s Week 11 game against the New Orleans Saints.
Sanders missed the Eagles’ last three games due to suffering an ankle injury against the Las Vegas Raiders. It was poor timing for him with Nick Sirianni suddenly showing a deeper commitment to running the football. Jordan Howard and Boston Scott both benefited in Sanders’ absence, with each player raising their yards per carry figure to 5.
