It's not coming from us.'"Just wanted to rea sure him that this is the reason why you're here.

Trade talks between the Eagles and Chargers were "more conceptual" than serious on Philly's end, per Breer, and L.A. "obviously said no."

Howard finished the 2018 season with 935 yards on 250 carries and averaged Raudy Read Jersey a career-low 3.7 yards per carry. Prior to his 100-yard performance against the Los Angeles in Week 14, Howard was averaging just 3.4 yards per carry through the first 12 games of the season, but averaged 4.5 yards per carry in the final four games of the year.Howard is one of only three NFL running backs with over 3,000 rushing yards (3,370) since 2016, joining Ezekiel Elliott (4,048) and (3,441). Howard and Gurley are the only NFL running backs with nine Gio Gonzalez Jersey -plus rushing touchdowns in each of the last two seasons.Howard is the No. 1 running back on the depth chart, but the Eagles will continue to use a running back-by-committee approach with him, Sanders, , and .

"The biggest thing, obviously concern coming into camp was the health i sue with coming out of the spring being injured a little bit. I think he's checked that box."Obviously, he'll Anibal Sanchez Jersey have a role for us and it's good to have at least those two guys back there that are different runners, but at the same time give us that running game that was mi sed a year ago."With Howard expected to be a free agent after 2019, the Eagles eventually will turn the ball over to Sanders as the No. 1 running back. For the start of the season, Howard is the No. 1 ball carrier in Philadelphia.
