Kenneth Gainwell Practices In Full On Friday

Kenneth Gainwell Practices In Full On Friday

one year ago

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) was a full participant during Friday's practice after logging a limited session on Thursday. He has another day to log a full session on Saturday before the Eagles' Monday Night Football battle against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The third-year running back missed Week 2 with a rib injury that he suffered during a Week 1 win over the New England Patriots. Gainwell worked as the bell cow in that Week 1 victory, dominating the Eagles' running back snaps, albeit inefficiently (14 carries for 54 yards). D'Andre Swift worked as the lead ball carrier--in Gainwell's absence--in a dominating performance (28 carries for 175 yards) during the Week 2 win over the Vikings. In the wake of his impressive game, Swift will likely start against the Bucs but the Eagles' coaching staff like Gainwell and what he brings to the table. The two backs will likely work in a committee, which hampers both of their respective fantasy values.
