Eagles' Miles Sanders: Practices on limited basis

Sanders (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, while backfield mates Boston Scott (illness) and Jordan Howard (knee) sat out the session.

Things have quickly turned in Sanders' favor since he sat out the fourth quarter of Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Giants with an ankle injury, though he's still likely to share snaps and carries if he ends up playing this week, given that Scott is reportedly dealing with a non-COVID-19 illness and rookie Kenneth Gainwell remains healthy. The Eagles face the Jets on Sunday, providing a favorable matchup for whichever running backs end up playing and getting touches.
