Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Miles Sanders will return to Sunday’s game after a knee injury.
The news comes amid impressive performance for Sanders, who totaled 118 yards on nine carries in the game. He had a 74-yard dash midway through the third quarter.
The sophomore was limited due to an educational camp about ham ham tendon injuries that led to him missing Week 1. The challenge was serious enough that he wouldn’t even make the vacation to Washington for the first game of the season.
Sanders also had ankle and knee problems last season, not missed a game.
When healthy, the 2019 second-round selection has been shown to have an effect on the player that can help an offense in many ways.
The Penn State product finished with 1,327 scrum-half yards as a rookie, helped through his 50 receptions, and is impressive after taking on the role full-time in the backfield. Sanders has totaled 639 scrum-half yards in the last six games of 2019.
Then, in 2020, the ball carrier has continued to produce with 434 yards on the court and 91 yards in reception this season, locating the finish area 3 times.
While Boston Scott can handle a greater workload with Sanders unavailable, Philadelphia will likely rely more on Carson Wentz and the pass offensive until the offense has full power again.
