Eagles' Miles Sanders: Pair of carries in preseason debut

Sanders rushed two times for 13 yards in the Eagles' 35-0 preseason loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.

One of Sanders' runs went for 10 yards, making up the bulk of his production during his brief time on the field. The third-year back reportedly has re-solidified his grip on the starting job after opening training camp splitting some first-team reps with Boston Scott, but given quarterback Jalen Hurts was a late scratch due to illness Thursday, Sanders may not have an opportunity to play with the second-year signal-caller until Philadelphia's regular-season opener against the Falcons on Sept. 12.
