Miles Sanders dealing with hamstring injury as Eagles prepare for joint practices with 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.
