Sanders (ankle) was activated from IR on Saturday, paving the way for him to play Sunday against the Saints.
Sanders was Philadelphia's primary backfield option on early downs prior to getting hurt in Week 7 against the Raiders. Jordan Howard and Boston Scott have filled the gap effectively during Sanders' absence, with the latter likely to stick around as Philadelphia's primary goal-line option. Sanders hadn't scored a touchdown before getting hurt, but he remains the most explosive option in the Eagles' backfield, though he'll have an unappealing matchup in his return against a Saints defense that's allowing a league-low 72.9 rushing yards per game.
