After previously missing the last six games, the Philadelphia Eagles were beyond excited to see Jordan Howard return to action in the team’s Week 17 win over the New York Giants to help take some of the pressure off Miles Sanders in the backfield.
Back in November when Howard suffered the shoulder injury against his former team in the Chicago Bears, the running back seemed like he would only miss a game or two since the Eagles were listing him as day-to-day.
But when seeing how Howard would go on to miss six games, it’s pretty clear the injury was a lot more serious than originally expected.
