Kenneth Gainwell Doesn't Practice On Wednesday

2 months ago

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell (concussion, knee) did not take part in practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday after suffering a concussion on Sunday in the win over the division-rival Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship. In addition to being in the league's concussion protocol this week, the 25-year-old backup running back is dealing with a knee injury. It means his status for Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs is up in the air, but the good news is he'll have an extra week to recover with the game not taking place until Sunday, Feb. 9. Still, Gainwell's status for the big game is currently up in the air. If he is unable to gain clearance to play against KC, Will Shipley would be the primary change-of-pace back for the Eagles behind stud rusher Saquon Barkley. Gainwell only has 10 touches for 58 scrimmage yards in three playoff games this year.
