Kenneth Gainwell Trending Toward Missing Week 2
1 year agoPhiladelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) is trending toward not being ready to play in Week 2 on Thursday night against the Minnesota Vikings, according to sources. The Eagles' final injury report for Thursday's game will be released later on Wednesday. It's likely that Gainwell will be listed as either questionable or out after being listed as a non-participant in walkthrough practices the first two days of the week. The 24-year-old was Philly's leading rusher in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots, so if he's inactive or limited on Thursday night, D'Andre Swift figures to take over the team's committee backfield. Rashaad Penny, who was a healthy scratch in the season opener, will likely make his team debut this week if Gainwell doesn't suit up.
