Miles Sanders Broke a Bone in His Hand

From Rap Sheet:
#Eagles RB Miles Sanders broke a bone in his hand yesterday, sources say, and he’ll have an MRI and additional tests today to determine if there is other damage and whether or not he can play through it. Sanders left the stadium in a soft cast.

Ball security is the first thing that comes to mind. If he was a linebacker, you give him a club hand and tell him to go out and play, but you can’t do that with a running back.
Hopefully it’s not too serious, because Sanders has been playing well. 45 yards on Sunday, prior to the injury, and then a career-high 131 against Washington and 120 against the Jets. The Eagles cannot be a four-headed monster without Sanders. They’ll have to give Boston Scott his snaps and settle for being a three-headed monster instead. Ground and pound!
