Steelers Adding Kenneth Gainwell; Backfield Picture Forming?

Steelers Adding Kenneth Gainwell; Backfield Picture Forming?

FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz reports that the Steelers are finalizing a one-year deal with RB Kenneth Gainwell. The 26-year-old (as of March 14) spent his first four seasons with the Eagles after arriving as a fifth-round pick.

Eagles RB Will Shipley (concussion) is active for today’s game vs. the Giants. RB Kenneth Gainwell is the only other active RB for Philadelphia. Expect Shipley to get the ball plenty in this one. He cracks the top 25 in our Week 18 RB Rankings.

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni said Wednesday that he'll rest starters, including RB Saquon Barkley, in Sunday's finale vs. the Giants. The Eagles are locked in as the NFC's No. 2 seed. So Barkley won't have a chance to get the 101 rushing yards he needs to break Eric Dickerson's single-season record. But he'll be healthy heading into the playoffs. Don't expect QB Jalen Hurts or WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith to play on Sunday, either. We'll see whether Kenny Pickett (ribs) or Tanner McKee starts at QB. Backfield duties figure to be handled by Kenneth Gainwell and Will Shipley.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley delivered 167 yards on 31 carries in Sunday's beatdown of the Cowboys, getting him to 2,005 rushing yards for the season. That puts Barkley just 101 yards short of breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season NFL record. The question now, of course, is whether Philly will Barkley enough Week 18 carries to go after that record -- or any carries at all. The Eagles have already locked up the NFC's No. 2 seed and thus have nothing (team wise) to play for in the regular-season finale.

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni sees some Danny Woodhead in rookie RB Will Shipley. Sirianni was with Woodhead with the Chargers from 2013 to 2016. Woodhead averaged 6.4 carries and 4.5 catches per game across those four seasons.
