Miles Sanders dealing with a hamstring injury as Philadelphia Eagles prepare for joint practices with Cleveland Browns

Miles Sanders wants to be the feature running back in Philadelphia, but he’ll need to prove that he can be reliable and healthy weekly.

Sanders played against the Jets in the team’s preseason opener on Friday but hasn’t practiced since and is now listed as day-to-day with a hamstring injury.

Sanders missed five games last season with injuries, and it’ll be something to watch as Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott have returned to practice.

Philadelphia signed running back DeAndre Torrey last week for depth at the position.

Eagles’ RB Miles Sanders questionable to return vs. Giants after suffering ankle injury

Eagles’ RB Miles Sanders head to locker room vs. Giants with a lower-body injury

The Philadelphia Eagles will have to advance to the playoffs without their most explosive player, as Miles Sanders was forced to head to the locker room with an ankle injury.

The Eagles just announced that Sanders is questionable to return, although it’s highly unlikely Philadelphia risk his health with a possible opening-round playoff game next weekend.

Without Sanders, Jordan Howard and Boston Scott will assume the lead back duties.
