Won't play Sunday Sanders (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington.
Impact Sanders was added to injury report Thursday and didn't practice Friday. He finished his season with 867 rushing yards, 197 receiving yards and six total touchdowns in 12 games, producing 5.3 yards per carry but only 3.8 per target. Boston Scott averaged just four touches per game over the past seven weeks, but he should see more work Sunday in what likely will be his fourth start of the season. Scott averaged 12 carries, three targets and 75 total yards between the first three starts, playing 56, 69 and 66 percent of offensive snaps. The Eagles also have Corey Clement and Jason Huntley as backfield options on the active roster, and Jordan Howard could be called up from the practice squad.

Not looking good for Sunday Sanders (knee) doesn't appear likely to play in Sunday's game against Washington, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia repots.
Impact Sanders was added to the injury report Thursday and held out of practice Friday. If he doesn't play Sunday, the Eagles will be left with Boston Scott, Corey Clement and Jason Huntley in the backfield. Scott has made five starts for the Eagles over the past two seasons, averaging 10.6 carries and 3.0 targets in those games.

Washington gets 2nd chance to win NFC East at Philadelphia Almost everything has changed since Washington faced the Eagles in the season opener

Pops up on injury report The Eagles added Sanders to their Week 17 injury report after he was a limited participant at Thursday's practice due to a knee issue.
Impact Considering Sanders wasn't included on the initial report released Wednesday, he may have picked up the injury at some point during Thursday's practice. Head coach Doug Pederson should provide some clarity on the matter Friday, but with the Eagles having been eliminated from playoff contention, Sanders could be at risk of sitting out Sunday's season finale versus Washington if there's any concern about the health of his knee. Boston Scott is the next man up at running back behind Sanders.

Scores TD in loss to Dallas Sanders carried the ball 15 times for 57 yards and a touchdown and caught four of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Cowboys.
Impact He opened the scoring on the Eagles' first possession with a four-yard plunge, helping to build a 14-3 first-quarter lead, but the game was almost all Dallas after that point and Sanders didn't get much of a chance to add to his numbers on the ground with Philly having to play catch-up the entire second half. The second-year back still reached 1,000 scrimmage yards for the season with this performance, and Sanders will look to help the Eagles play spoiler in next week's clash with a Washington team that needs to win to lock up the NFC East title.

Impact Eagles head coach Doug Pederson has drawn criticism for Sanders' lack of consistent usage this season, but the running back's involvement has been on the upswing since Jalen Hurts replaced Carson Wentz as the team's starting quarterback. In two games with Hurts under center, Sanders has received 36 touches (31 carries, five catches), turning them into 226 yards (6.3 per touch) and two touchdowns. The threat that Hurts presents as a runner has aided Sanders' effectiveness on zone-running plays in particular, with opposing defenses having to respect the quarterback's mobility rather than selling out to stop the running back. Expect the Eagles to make ample use of those plays against the struggling Dallas run defense, which could translate to productive outings on the ground for both Sanders and Hurts.

Totals 90 scrimmage yards in loss Sanders carried 17 times for 64 yards and caught one of two targets for an additional 26 yards during Sunday's 33-26 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Sanders averaged just 3.8 yards per carry as his long gain for the day went for only 10 yards. He turned one of his targets into a 26-yard reception, but fantasy managers were likely left wanting more as it wound up being his only contribution of the day in that phase. Sanders was coming off his best all-around performance of the season in a win over the Saints, but he's now been held under 4.0 yards per carry three times in the last four games. Perhaps next Sunday's meeting with a beatable Cowboys run defense can help Sanders get back on track.
