Injuries can happen at any time to any player, and if the Philadelphia
Eagles lose running back LeSean McCoy for an extended period their
season would look a lot different without last season's league leading
rusher.

After scoring on a 22-yard screen pass in the Eagles’ 31-21 win against
the Pittsburgh Steelers, McCoy went to the locker room for X-rays on his
thumb, which were negative. That was the good news for McCoy, who did
not return and should see his next action in the Eagles’ regular-season
opener.

The better news, however, was that the Eagles did not change their plan.
They ran the ball with Darren Sproles, one of their bigger offseason
acquisitions, and Matthew Tucker in McCoy’s absence. They combined for
48 yards on 10 first-half carries, and Sproles had a 1-yard rushing
touchdown. The Eagles finished with 182 yards on the ground.

Philadelphia hopes Mark Sanchez never has to play because Foles is
effective and healthy, but the former New York Jets quarterback
continued his solid preseason. Sanchez directed two touchdown drives in
the third quarter, completing 7 of 9 passes for 85 yards. In the
preseason he has completed 25 of 31 passes for 281 yards with two
touchdowns and one interception. He looks healthy and much more decisive
under Chip Kelly’s tutelage.
