The Philadelphia Eagles are optimistic that running back Miles Sanders can return from an ankle injury for Sunday’s NFC wild-card game against the Seattle Seahawks. Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said inflammation is the biggest concern but added that Sanders “is going to be OK,” per the report. The second-round pick from Penn State broke the Eagles’ rookie records for yards from scrimmage (1,327) and all-purpose yards (1,641) this year. Sanders ran for 818 yards and three touchdowns and caught 50 passes for 509 yards and three scores. In a 17-9 loss to Seattle in Week 12, Sanders rushed 12 times for 63 yards and made three receptions for 23 yards.
