Jordan Howard News
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said the team is hopeful that running backs Miles Sanders (hand) and Jordan Howard (neck) will be available for the wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this weekend. Howard and Boston Scott were activated from the COVID-19 list on Monday after the missed the Week 18 regular season finale. Sanders broke his hand in Week 17 and missed last Saturday's game, paving the way for rookie Kenneth Gainwell to have a much bigger role against Dallas. Prior to breaking his hand, Sanders was running the best he had been all season long, so expect the Eagles to give him the majority of the workload in a tough matchup with the Buccaneers.
Philadelphia Eagles running backs Jordan Howard and Boston Scott remain on the COVID-19 list and will not play in Saturday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. With Miles Sanders (hand) already ruled out, Kenneth Gainwell will lead Philadelphia's backfield while Jason Huntley will provide a change of pace against Dallas. Gainwell should see the bulk of the carries and is a value play for Saturday's showdown slate. Howard and Scott will have to clear protocols to be available for the Eagles postseason opener next week.
Philadelphia Eagles running backs Boston Scott and Jordan Howard, linebacker Genard Avery, safety Marcus Epps, guard Nate Herbig, cornerback Avonte Maddox, safety Rodney McLeod, linebacker Alex Singleton and tight end Jack Stoll were all placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Philly's backfield depth could be tested in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. Miles Sanders isn't expected to return until the playoffs, and rookie Kenneth Gainwell is the only other RB on the current active roster. For those still playing for something in fantasy in Week 18, Gainwell will be a popular waiver-wire pickup this week and would see a starter's workload against Dallas if neither of Scott and Howard can clear the COVID protocols in time for this weekend.
