Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders suffered a shoulder injury and was listed as questionable to return, according to the team.

In the third quarter, Sanders sprinted past the Bills' defense for a 65-yard touchdown, which marked the first of his career. Sanders was clocked at 20.90 miles per hour on that run. The touchdown gave the Eagles a 17–7 lead.

The touchdown was also the Eagles' longest rushing touchdown since 2013's 65-yard touchdown by Bryce Brown against the Chicago Bears in Week 16.

Sanders headed to the locker room after the shoulder injury 

The 22-year-old finished the day with three rush attempts for 74 yards along with three receptions for 44 yards. The Eagles lead the Bills 24–13 heading into the fourth quarter.
