The Philadelphia Eagles might be turning to running back Elijah Mitchell to be their key offensive and special teams weapon in Week 8 against the Commanders.
Inside the Iggles reports that running back Elijah Mitchell could serve as an essential starter for the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8 against the Washington Commanders. The Eagles are facing extensive backfield injuries, with starter Saquon Barkley missing consecutive practices due to hamstring and back issues. Mitchell and rookie Jaydon Blue are currently the team's only healthy options at running back.
Anthony Miller argues that Mitchell's receiving skills could make him a valuable asset for quarterback Tanner McKee. The Eagles placed Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and Dameon Pierce on injured reserve, leaving Mitchell poised to take on a primary role just weeks after being re-signed.
