The Philadelphia Eagles are getting an important member of their offense back for Sunday's playoff tilt against the Seattle Seahawks.

Running back Miles Sanders said he'll play Sunday, according to PhiladelphiaEagles.com's Dave Spadaro. Sanders exited Week 17's contest due to an ankle injury and didn't practice this week until Friday.

"Miles is good," head coach Doug Pederson said, according to team reporter Olivia Schaller. "He'll get in some work today, see where he's at. He's been feeling good."

Meanwhile, tight end Zach Ertz and offensive tackle Lane Johnson were both labeled as questionable on the team's final injury report Friday.

Ertz, who's been battling injuries to his ribs and back, practiced on a limited basis this week after being sidelined in Week 17. However, Pederson said he's yet to be cleared for contact, according to Schaller.

"We're waiting on a few doctor results (Saturday)," Pederson said. "If things go favorable, he'll play, and if they don't, he won't."

Johnson was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday but didn't practice Friday. He could miss his fourth straight game due to an ankle ailment.

Nelson Agholor has been ruled out for the wild-card matchup against the Seahawks due to a knee injury. The wide receiver has missed the Eagles' past four contests.

The NFC East champions enter their third straight postseason carrying a four-game winning streak.
