Eagles Place Running Back Miles Sanders on IR With Ankle Injury

The Philadelphia Eagles placed running back Miles Sanders on IR Friday with an ankle injury he suffered last Sunday against the Raiders. Sanders suffered an inversion ankle sprain in the first quarter of the 33-22 loss to the Raiders and did not return. Rookie Kenneth Gainwell will serve as the primary running back for the Eagles. Sanders is eligible to return Week 11 against the Saints.
