The Eagles sat Jordan Howard for 7 weeks and after a noteworthy performance that showed he can still be an athletic and physical running back, after rushing for two touchdowns and leading Philadelphia to a dominating victory over Detroit.
Now the Eagles have a self-made issue because Howard’s now available to any team around the NFL that makes an offer and gets approval for a signing.
Miles Sanders is still out two more weeks, and Philadelphia only has 1 running back on the practice squad.
The Eagles are about to be out chances to protect Howard from week to week as well, meaning Howie Roseman must release a player and sign the veteran running back for the rest of the season.
We’ve highlighted five teams that could look to acquire Howard without giving Philadelphia compensation.
