The Las Vegas Raiders are taking a look at Miles Sanders as they try to add another running back behind Ashton Jeanty.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Sanders worked out for the Raiders on Monday. Sanders is a free agent after his 2025 season with the Dallas Cowboys ended because of a knee injury.

Sanders entered the league as a second-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Penn State. He spent four seasons in Philadelphia and reached the Pro Bowl in 2022, when he rushed for 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns.
After that, Sanders moved on to the Carolina Panthers. In two seasons and 27 games there, he finished with 637 rushing yards.
He then landed in Dallas for 2025, but his run with the Cowboys was brief. Sanders appeared in four games, carried the ball 20 times for 117 yards and scored one touchdown before the injury ended his season.
Sanders is 29 now, and he’ll be looking to show a team - whether it’s the Raiders or someone else - that he can still be a productive NFL back.
If Las Vegas does sign him this week, it would say plenty about where he stands in his recovery from the knee injury.

Eagles Fans Are Already Feeling Validated About A.J. Brown
A.J. Browns first training camp run with the Patriots is giving Eagles fans a familiar feeling. After Philadelphia moved on from him in the trade that sent him to New England, early reports out of camp have centered on the same issues that followed him late in his Eagles stint, with Brown again having trouble creating separation from defenders.
The matchup that will draw the most attention came against Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez, and it did not go Browns way. For Eagles fans who spent last season wondering whether his separation issues and effort questions were becoming a larger part of his game, the early Patriots buzz is at least a little validating, even if camp is still only camp.

Jalen Hurts Is Entering The Season With Something To Prove
Jalen Hurts has already given the Eagles plenty to celebrate, from two Super Bowl trips to three Pro Bowl nods, but this season still feels like a fresh proving ground. After another year of offensive turnover around him, the quarterback is once again adjusting to a new setup, and the conversation in Philadelphia is less about what Hurts has accomplished than how his game will be asked to evolve.
Sean Mannions arrival as the new offensive coordinator adds another layer to that adjustment, because the scheme is expected to look different from what Hurts has operated in before. With the Eagles likely to lean away from the heavy rushing burden that has defined stretches of his tenure, Hurts enters the year with a chance to show he can keep the offense moving even if his legs are not carrying quite as much of the load.

Several Familiar Eagles Veterans Are Suddenly Fighting For Their Jobs
Training camp has a way of turning familiar names into uneasy ones, and the Eagles are already there with a 90-man roster that has to be trimmed to 53 by Aug. 30. For a team with real expectations, that means the early days of camp are not just about sorting out starters, but about deciding which veterans still fit, which ones have a path through special teams or depth roles, and which ones are suddenly competing for their football lives.
Philadelphias bubble list stretches across the roster, from cornerback to wide receiver to tight end and quarterback, with health questions and crowded position groups adding to the pressure. Some of these players have been around long enough to know how quickly camp can turn, and others are trying to prove they can still help in the roles the Eagles need most, but the numbers game is only going to get tighter as the deadline approaches.
