Kenneth Gainwell, running back for the Philadelphia Eagles, did not practice on Tuesday due to a rib injury. Insider Derrick Gunn tweeted that Gainwell's status for Thursday night's game against the Vikings is uncertain. If Gainwell is unable to play, the Eagles' backfield will be led by D'Andre Swift and Boston Scott, with Rashaad Penny also potentially seeing playing time. Gainwell is still considered a strong target on waiver wires.
