Miles Sanders breaks LeSean McCoy’s Eagles rookie rushing record with a 56-yard run

Miles Sanders is breaking records with each carry and reception while putting the Eagles offense on his back for one final playoff push.

On Sunday Sanders broke the Eagles rookie record for yards from scrimmage and moments ago, he passed LeSean McCoy for the most yards rushing in a season by a rookie.

Sanders entered the game only 117 rushing yards away from tying the former All-Pro running back’s franchise rookie rushing record (637), which was set in 2009.

Sanders has 120 yards rushing + 46 yards receiving on the afternoon with 2 total touchdowns.

The Philadelphia Eagles have had a difficult season thus far but still, control their own destiny in the weak NFC East.

The format is simple for Philadelphia, win the next four straight — all divisional opponents — and host a Wild Card one month from now. Even with a playoff run, the Eagles will most certainly make changes to personnel and the coaching staff.

On Monday, ESPN NFL reporter Chris Mortensen was a guest on SportsCenter and had this to say about the Eagles.

“Barring a run in the playoffs, I would say there’s going to be some significant changes on the Philadelphia staff.”

Mortensen was simply making a hypothesis, as there’s been no indication from inside the organization that any changes are coming.

Philadelphia is now 5-7 after a loss to 3-9 Miami Dolphins, a game in which the Eagles stopped running the ball after taking a 28-14 lead. With the Eagles signing Carson Wentz to a longterm deal and the franchise focused on returning to the Super Bowl, here are 7 potential replacements at offensive coordinator if the team moves on from Mike Groh.

1. Duce Staley — Eagles assistant head coach

Staley is currently the Eagles running backs coach and also the assistant head coach. Staley, the fifth-leading rusher in franchise history, knows the franchise, has been around some creative offensive play-callers and would have no problem holding quarterback Carson Wentz accountable.

Pederson previously promoted Mike Groh to offensive coordinator, in part because Groh was more involved with the passing game daily.

Eagles promote TE Josh Perkins from the practice squad to the active roster

Josh Perkins promoted to Philadelphia Eagles active roster

With Zach Ertz dealing with a hamstring injury and the Eagles not wanting to risk the remainder of his season, the Birds are being cautious with the Pro Bowl tight end. Just in case Ertz can’t go against Miami, The Eagles have promoted Josh Perkins to the active roster.

Ertz was listed as questionable for the game with a hamstring injury after not practicing Wednesday or Thursday.

Ertz practiced on a limited basis on Friday and Dallas Goedert will get the start if he can’t go.

Eagles begin 21-day practice window for CB Cre’Von LeBlanc

The Philadelphia Eagles continue to get reinforcements back on defense and stud slot cornerback Cre’Von LeBlanc is set to join a defense that’s blossoming at the right time.

The Philadelphia Eagles just announced that they’ve activated the 21-day practice window for the talented cornerback.

With the activation window, the Eagles can add LeBlanc to the active roster at any time during these next three weeks. Depending on how he looks in practice this week, LeBlanc could return to game action as early as Sunday in Miami.

LeBlanc has been inactive since having offseason foot surgery that extended into training camp and the regular season.

The Philadelphia Eagles released their Thursday injury report in advance of Sunday’s showdown with the Patriots and Alshon Jeffery missed his second practice in a row.

Darren Sproles was a new addition to the report after Thursday’s practice with a quad injury that sidelined him previously. Nigel Bradham (ankle) missed practice, while Jordan Howard (shoulder) and Jason Peters (knee) remain limited.

If Jeffery can’t go, the Eagles will have Jordan Howard and Nelson Agholor as their No. 1 receivers, with JJ Arcega-Whiteside and Mack Hollins as the other available players on the outside.

Expect Philadelphia to lean on tight ends Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert.

Eagles’ Injury Update: Cre’Von LeBlanc, Nigel Bradham nearing return

Doug Pederson provides an update on DeSean Jackson, Cre’Von LeBlanc and more

The Philadelphia Eagles are set to get back two more significant pieces to the defense as the Birds look to be finally rounding into form health-wise. Doug Pederson addressed the media on Wednesday and addressed the lingering injuries for several players.

Alshon Jeffery was listed as “day-to-day” coming out of the bye week after he suffered an ankle injury during the fourth quarter of the team’s win over the Chicago Bears.

Pederson then revealed that left tackle Jason Peters had arthroscopic knee surgery after leaving the Week 6 loss at the Minnesota Vikings. Rookie Andre Dillard has started in his place over the past three games and performed well, but Peters is expected to regain his starting job upon being cleared.

“He should be out there today at practice,” Pederson said. “I fully expect him to — he’ll practice today, and obviously we’ll see where he’s at at the end of the week.”

Linebacker Nigel Bradham (ankle) is expected to be limited during workouts, Pederson said there is a chance he could play this week.

Cornerback Cre’Von LeBlanc (foot), remains on injured reserve but has been eligible to return since Week 9.

Pederson stated that he’ll continue to rehab before returning to practice.
