The Philadelphia Eagles will have a healthy Miles Sanders for Week 1 as the running back says he’s absolutely ready to go against the Detroit Lions

The Eagles will have a healthy trio of running backs available for Week one in Detroit, as Miles Sanders confirmed he’d be the starter at Ford Field.

Talking to the media on Thursday, Sanders says he’s absolutely ready to go after missing the bulk of training camp with a hamstring injury.

“It’s just one of those injuries you don’t want to risk it in camp, so I attacked the rehab, and I’m back, ready to go,,” Sanders said.

Sanders is entering the final year of his rookie deal and has yet to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season despite averaging 5.5 yards per attempt in 12 games last season.

Every Penn State player on an NFL opening day roster in 2022

Here is every former Penn State plater on an NFL roster to start the new NFL season in 2022.

The start of a new season in the National Football League is here and there will be a good amount of Penn State flavor throughout the league this season. Penn State will have the eighth most players on an NFL opening day roster this season with 34 players appearing on an NFL team’s 53-man roster to start the season (plus two additional players on injured reserve and another on the physically unable to perform list). In all, Penn State claims 44 players are on NFL rosters to start the year with the inclusion of practice squad players.

That includes nine players who were on the Penn State roster in 2021, including wide receiver [autotag]Jahan Dotson[/autotag], defensive end [autotag]Arnold Ebiketie[/autotag], and safety [autotag]Jaquan Brisker[/autotag]. Dotson is one of four Penn State players on the Washington Commanders, the most of any NFL franchise to start the season.

Former kicker [autotag]Robbie Gould[/autotag] continues to be the elder statesman of the Nittany Lions football family in the NFL. Gould, of the San Francisco 49ers, is entering his 19th season in the NFL.

Here is a look at every Penn State player on either an NFL team’s 53-man roster or practice squad at the start of the 2022 season.

Several roster moves will likely be made between Tuesday and Friday, so the depth chart and 53-man roster will be fluid.

Here are ten takeaways from the initial depth chart.

Eagles 53-man roster among the NFL’s youngest in 2022

The Philadelphia Eagles’ aging roster is no more, and Howie Roseman has assembled one of the NFL’s youngest and most talented groups.

Heading into the 2020 NFL season, Philadelphia had one of the NFL’s oldest rosters, and GM Howie Roseman made it clear that a youth movement would be underway.

The Eagles started to move on from older veterans like Malcolm Jenkins, Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, Malik Jackson, Nigel Bradham, and others, replacing them with younger, less expensive talent via the draft and undrafted free agency.

The shift in philosophy in player evaluation has also paid off, and Roseman has rebounded with solid late-round additions.

The Birds are no longer among the older teams in the league, and according to Jimmy Kempski of Philly Voice, Philadelphia has the ninth youngest roster in the NFL, heading into the 2022 season.

Eagles 25.7 (9)

The Browns, Lions, Cowboys, and Giants were among the clubs with younger rosters than Philadelphia, and it will make for exciting battles within the division for the next few years.
