Eagles RB Miles Sanders (ankle) unlikely to play Week 8

Oct 25, 2021

It appears the Eagles have dodged a bullet with Miles Sanders’ injury, although Nick Sirianni said it’s unlikely the 3rd-year running back will play this weekend.

Sanders suffered an ankle injury during the second quarter of the Eagles’ loss to the Raiders Sunday in Las Vegas and was carted off the field.

Fantasy Impact:

Sirianni said Monday the Eagles haven’t ruled Sanders out for their game Sunday against the Lions in Detroit, but it sounds like the odds are against him playing. Scott really saw his first significant action of the season after Sanders went down, so it's expected Gainwell gets a majority of the work based on Scott really not being a part of the game plan through the first seven games. Gainwell should be a popular pickup off the wire this week, but keep in mind the Eagles are not running the ball a whole lot.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
