Boston Scott, Jordan Howard Land On COVID-19 List
3 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles running backs Boston Scott and Jordan Howard, linebacker Genard Avery, safety Marcus Epps, guard Nate Herbig, cornerback Avonte Maddox, safety Rodney McLeod, linebacker Alex Singleton and tight end Jack Stoll were all placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Philly's backfield depth could be tested in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. Miles Sanders isn't expected to return until the playoffs, and rookie Kenneth Gainwell is the only other RB on the current active roster. For those still playing for something in fantasy in Week 18, Gainwell will be a popular waiver-wire pickup this week and would see a starter's workload against Dallas if neither of Scott and Howard can clear the COVID protocols in time for this weekend.
