Miles Sanders' Pittsburgh pull: From meeting the Steelers at 10 to playing them Returning home, Sanders reflects on what he gets from Pittsburgh: "My mentality. My attitude. The way I carry myself. It’s a tough city."
Held in check Sunday Sanders rushed 13 times for 46 yards and caught two passes (four targets) for 30 yards in Sunday's 25-20 win over the 49ers.
Impact Sanders failed to reach 100 combined yards for the first time in his three starts this season. The 49ers' defense has been ravaged by injuries early on, but they remain stout against the run due to defensive line depth and talented linebackers. The positive news for Sanders' fantasy owners is that he continued to dominate the running back touches, with no other back receiving more than two carries or one reception. Another rough matchup looms in the form of the Steelers' vaunted defense Sunday, but Sanders' volume of touches should provide a high floor in terms of fantasy production.

Cleared for Sunday night Sanders (glute) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have any injury status for Sunday's game in San Francisco, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact Sanders and coach Doug Pederson both made confident statements earlier Friday, and running backs coach Duce Staley reiterated his belief that the second-year pro can continue to handle large workloads as the clear lead back in the Philadelphia offense, per Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. Only time will tell if that's true or not, but it does appear Sanders is headed for another heavy-usage game Sunday night. He played 77 and 78 percent of offensive snaps the past two weeks, averaging 19 carries, 7.5 targets and 114 total yards.

Should be ready for Sunday Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Sanders (glute) should be good to go for Sunday's game at San Francisco, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Impact The 23-year-old was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he appears to be progressing well from the glute injury. Sanders should be able to avoid an injury designation for this weekend if he's able to practice without limitations Friday, which Pederson indicated is expected.

Limited in practice Thursday Sanders (glute) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
Impact For the second day in a row, the Eagles capped Sanders' practice reps, which likely is a maintenance-related decision. In his two appearances this season, he's racked up a whopping 45 touches en route to 238 yards from scrimmage and one TD. Friday's injury report could clarify Sanders' status in advance of Sunday's game at San Francisco.

Limited Wednesday Sanders was limited at Wednesday's practice with a glute injury.
Impact After sitting out the Eagles' season opener due to a hamstring issue, Sanders has been a workhorse for the team, totaling 45 touches for 238 yards from scrimmage and one score over the last two games. Meanwhile, the reserve running back duo of Boston Scott and Corey Clement has combined for 13 touches during that stretch. With another injury in tow, Sanders nonetheless was able to get in some work Wednesday. He'll look to increase his activity level as the week continues.

Produces against Bengals Sanders registered 95 rushing yards on 18 carries while catching four of his eight targets for 12 receiving yards during Sunday's 23-23 tie against Cincinnati.
Impact Sanders has notched exactly 95 yards on the ground in each of his first two outings of the year, and he has 100-plus scrimmage yards in five of his past seven appearances dating back to Week 13 of last year. Given injuries to wide receivers DeSean Jackson (hamstring), Alshon Jeffery (foot) and Jalen Reagor (thumb), Sanders may also continue to build upon a strong workload of 15 targets across two appearances. Facing a 49ers front in Week 4 that is dealing with injuries to Nick Bosa (knee-ACL), Dee Ford (back) and Solomon Thomas (knee-ACL), Sanders remains a top-shelf option as a feature component in the Eagles offense.

Shines in season debut Sanders rushed 20 times for 95 yards and a touchdown, adding three receptions for 36 yards in the Eagles' 37-19 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Impact After missing Week 1, Sanders picked up where he left off last season and had a big game in his 2020 debut. The sophomore didn't seem limited by the hamstring injury that kept him out last week, as he piled up 131 yards while handling a hefty workload. Off to a solid start, Sanders will look to improve on the 1,327 scrimmage yards and six total touchdowns he produced as a rookie.
