Howard (stinger) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
While Howard didn't practice Wednesday due to the stinger he picked up this past Sunday versus the Giants, coach Nick Sirianni told Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia that the running back was "working like crazy" to be available Week 17 at Washington. Indeed, Howard was spotted on the field Thursday working in individual drills with extra padding around his shoulders, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. With Miles Sanders (hand) out for Sunday's game, Howard and Boston Scott would figure to man the backfield, assuming the former gains clearance to play through his injury.
