Trey Sermon News

Sermon was claimed off waivers by the Eagles shortly before the start of the season, but his new team evidently didn't view the second-year back as anything more than organizational depth. At no point was there even a hint that he'd move higher than fourth on the depth chart, and the Eagles never dressed more than three backs in a game. With Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell suiting up for every game and Boston Scott missing just a pair, that left very little for Sermon to do.

Sermon will now extend his absence streak to 11 consecutive games after being named a healthy scratch for the New Year's Day matchup versus New Orleans. The second-year running back likely won't see much action on the field unless either Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell or Boston Scott misses any amount of time.

Sermon is now slated to miss his ninth consecutive contest after being named a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup versus Chicago. Unless either Miles Sanders, Boston Scott or Kenneth Gainwell are forced to miss time, the second-year back likely won't see much action on the field.

Sermon was inactive for Week 14 due to an illness, but he's since cleared the aliment and appears likely to suit up Sunday against Minnesota. However, the second-year running back hasn't played in a game since Week 5, so it's unlikely he sees the field in Week 15.

Sermon dealt with an illness during Week 14 prep and will ultimately be sidelined. However, the second-year running back hasn't played in a game since Week 5, so his absence shouldn't impact Philadelphia's game plan.

Sermon has not played since Week 5, and his availability for Week 14 is now in jeopardy due to an unspecified illness. With Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott all healthy, Philadelphia's game plan shouldn't be changed much either way.
