MILES SANDERS NEWS

Ruled out Sunday Sanders (hamstring) will not make the trip to Washington and is out for Sunday's game, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Sanders missed much of the later stages of training camp due to a hamstring injury, and after being called "day-to-day" Wednesday by coach Doug Pederson, the running back proceeded to log three consecutive limited practices. However, the Eagles have decided to play it safe and hold him out this week. Pederson will turn to some combination of Boston Scott, Corey Clement (quadriceps) and Jason Huntley to pick up the slack in the Philly backfield.

Status in question for Sunday Sanders (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest in Washington.

Impact Sanders missed much of the later stages of training camp due to a hamstring injury, and after being called "day-to-day" Wednesday by coach Doug Pederson, the running back proceeded to log three consecutive limited practices. Clearly, there's some question about Sanders' availability this weekend, but the Eagles will make a decision about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If he's at all hindered or sits out, Pederson will turn to some combination of Boston Scott, Corey Clement (quadriceps) and Jason Huntley to pick up the slack in the Philly backfield.

Remains day-to-day Coach Doug Pederson said Sanders (hamstring) is considered day-to-day heading into Friday's practice, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact The second-year running back was labeled day-to-day earlier in the week and was a limited participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but Pederson added Friday that Sanders is doing "extremely well." A full practice from Sanders on Friday would address some of the concern regarding his availability for the season opener Sunday at Washington, but his workload and snap count remain a question mark after being limited throughout camp by the injury. The Eagles' official injury report later in the day should provide a better idea of the 23-year-old's outlook for Week 1.

Limited again Thursday Sanders (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact After head coach Doug Pederson labeled him as day-to-day earlier this week, Sanders has proceeded to turn in back-to-back limited practices. Ideally, Sanders will practice fully Friday to clear up some of the concern about his availability for Sunday's game at Washington, but even another limited showing wouldn't close the door on him playing in the season opener. The bigger question is what kind of workload and snap count Sanders might receive Sunday after the hamstring issue cost him significant time during training camp. Boston Scott and Corey Clement (quadriceps) -- who was also limited in Thursday's practice -- are next in line for reps out of the Philadelphia backfield if Sanders ends up sitting out this weekend or faces any sort of restriction with his use.

Manages limited practice Sanders (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Sanders missed a substantial amount of training camp due to what was initially called a lower-body injury, but is now being listed as a hamstring issue. Coach Doug Pederson said earlier today that the Eagles will likely continue to be cautious with Sanders, per Grant Paulsen of The Athletic, so even if he's active for Sunday's tilt against Washington it looks as though a snap count could be in the cards. Boston Scott and Corey Clement will pick up the slack if Sanders does end up limited at all Week 1.

Taking part in individual work Eagles head coach Doug Pederson labeled Sanders (lower body) as day-to-day and said the running back would take part in individual work during Wednesday's practice, Mike Kaye of Th...

Impact The Eagles' first official practice report will be released later Wednesday and will reveal how extensively Sanders was involved in the session, but based on Pederson's comments, expect the 23-year-old to be listed as a limited participant. Though the lower-body injury cost Sanders significant practice time during training camp, the Eagles remain optimistic that he'll be ready to headline the team's backfield in Sunday's season opener against Washington. If Sanders' recovery doesn't progress as expected and he ends up sitting out the Week 1 matchup or taking on a more limited workload than normal, Boston Scott and Corey Clement would be in store for heightened roles.

On track for Week 1 Sanders (lower body) is expected to be available for Sept. 13's season-opener against Washington, Paul Domowitch of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Sanders has missed a substantial amount of training camp due to a lower body injury, but reports have been consistently optimistic about his chances of suiting up Week 1. The 23-year-old will function as the lead dog in Philadelphia's backfield if he's indeed available against Washington, but until he resumes practicing without restrictions the possibility of a snap count can't be ruled out. Boston Scott and Corey Clement would be in line for increased snaps if Sanders ends up limited in any capacity.

Misses practice with injury Sanders is considered "week to week" with an unspecified lower-body injury, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Everything coming out of Eagles camp to date has fed the breakout hype surrounding Sanders, who enters his second pro season as the clear leader of the Philadelphia backfield. This injury should temporarily slow down the enthusiasm, though John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports the issue is "not too serious" and shouldn't keep Sanders out for Week 1 at Washington. If things were to take a turn for the worse, it likely would be Boston Scott and Corey Clement handling most of the backfield snaps in the season opener. The Eagles might also consider a veteran RB signing, something that was discussed earlier this offseason but never ended up happening. In any case, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network supports the notion that Sanders' injury isn't serious.
