Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is "going to be OK," head coach Doug Pederson told reporters Tuesday morning.
Sanders underwent an MRI that revealed he had suffered a low-grade ankle sprain in the regular-season finale 34-17 win over the New York Giants on Sunday. Pederson pointed to inflammation as the main obstacle for Sanders right now ahead of Philly's wild-card matchup with the Seattle Seahawks next Sunday afternoon.
The 22-year-old Penn State product left the game against the Giants in the first half after carrying the ball nine times for 52 yards.
