Eagles | Sirianni hopeful Saquon Barkley can return for Week 6 Mon Oct 12, 04:11 PM
Coach Nick Sirianni and the Eagles returned from London on Monday, as he spoke to the media about the game and injury updates. Sirianni said he's 'hopeful' that Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith can return this week.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles are in an especially tough spot at RB. The three RBs entering the season all finished yesterday's game injured. If Barkley is not back this week, they're looking at Dameon Pierce, Carson Steele and Jaydon Blue. That's why Barkley's return is especially important." Barkley has rushed for 182 yards, averaging 5.1 yards per carry. He was injured early in two games with a stinger and now has a hamstring injury. We'll be watching for more. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury. Barkley was one of six Eagles players inactive due to injury for Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Jaguars in London after he was ruled out on Friday. Philadelphia is also without RB Tank Bigsby, who was placed on injured reserve to recover from core muscle surgery.

The Eagles officially ruled out RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Jaguars in London. Barkley did not practice Thursday and was not seen at Friday's practice. He is one of five players the Eagles ruled out for Sunday.
| Footballguys view: With Barkley out, Will Shipley and Dameon Pierce are set to lead the backfield. The Eagles are dealing with multiple issues right now, including an unexpected retirement and the trade of two starting offensive linemen. Shipley has big-play speed and pass-catching upside, making him the more fun of the two backs. But Pierce's skill set could lead to touchdowns if he gets early-down and goal-line work. Shipley is a borderline RB2, while Pierce is more of a touchdown-or-bust desperation play. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was not spotted at practice on Friday. Barkley, who is dealing with a hamstring injury, also did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, leaving his status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in doubt.
| Footballguys view: Barkley isn't expected to play this week and may miss even more time after that. In his absence, expect Will Shipley and Dameon Pierce to work as a complementary backfield duo. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) was not seen during the open portion of practice on Thursday. Barkley did not practice on Wednesday and was called "week-to-week" with the hamstring injury on Monday. The Eagles play the Jaguars on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Zero surprise here as Barkley is not expected to play in Week 5. Will Shipley and Dameon Pierce will split carries with Shipley likely being the lead back. We've got Shipley in the RB3/flex range for Fantasy GMs this week. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Sunday's Week 5 game against the Jaguars in London. Barkley is dealing with a hamstring injury that has him "week-to-week".
| Footballguys view: The Eagles are fighting through a few things as they travel to London this week. RB Will Shipley is next up in the Eagles' backfield, with Tank Bigsby headed to injured reserve. We like Shipley as an RB3/flex play in Week 5 against the Jaguars. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is considered "week-to-week" with the hamstring injury he suffered in the first quarter of Sunday's loss to the Rams, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Nick Sirianni said Monday, "We'll see," when asked about Barkley's availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, adding the team would "have more answers for you probably Wednesday." With Tank Bigsby undergoing core muscle surgery and heading to injured reserve, Will Shipley, who rushed six times for 23 yards against the Rams, is the only healthy running back on the active roster. Jaydon Blue, Dameon Pierce, and Carson Steele are on the practice squad. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was injured in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Rams with 11:48 left. He will not return (hamstring).
| Footballguys view: Barkley has left two games with injuries in four weeks. He returned after suffering a shoulder stinger in Week 2, but didn't add much in the second half. This time, he won't have a chance to even do that. Tank Bigsby got most of the work over Will Shipley once Barkley left, and he warmed up down the stretch, but then he appeared to suffer a groin injury late. The Jaguars are up next week, and even though that's a revenge game for Bigsby, he's not going to be more than a flex play next week after the Jaguars smothered the Bengals running game in Week 4 -- that is if he is even available. Will Shipley would be a what-the-heck RB2/Flex if both Barkley and Bigsby are out next week. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley plans to play "fearless" Monday night against the Bears as he eyes a return from a stinger injury. Barkley was limited in Thursday's practice with the shoulder injury before returning to full practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Eagles and Fantasy GMs here. A stinger is a scary injury, but Barkley has the right mindset. Both of his backups, RB Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and RB Will Shipley (foot), returned to practice (limited) on Friday as well. We like Barkley as an RB1 this week against the Bears as per usual. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley will play in Monday night's game against the Bears. Barkley is confident in how his recovery from a stinger is going and believes he is in a good spot. He was limited in practice on Thursday while wearing a cowboy collar.
| Footballguys view: When Barkley's imaging results were delayed earlier this week, people quickly assumed the worst. But Barkley laid those concerns to rest when he returned to practice on Thursday. He's expected to practice the next two days and play on Monday night. Add him to your lineup as an RB1. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is reportedly expected to play against the Bears in Chicago despite an injury. The report does not specify the nature of the injury or Barkley's practice status.
| Footballguys view: The game is on Monday night in Week 3, so Fantasy GMs would like some clarity before Sunday. Watch Barkley's practice status through Saturday. Reports indicate Barkley underwent an MRI for the stinger he suffered in Week 2 against the Titans. At this time, Barkley is on track to play and we like him as an RB2 with upside in Week 3. |

Yahoo Sports reports that Philadelphia Eagles RB Tank Bigsby took over the lead backfield role after RB Saquon Barkley left the game with a shoulder stinger.
| Footballguys view: Barkley was evaluated on the sideline and became questionable to return, with Bigsby filling in as the primary ball-carrier in his absence. Bigsby carried the ball 13 times for 33 yards and a touchdown. He remains the locked in as a great insurance policy for fantasy managers invested in Barkley. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was forced out of Sunday's 24-20 win over the Titans with a stinger but returned briefly in the second half. Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk reports that Barkley told reporters he feels alright but will have an MRI to determine the extent of the injury, saying "We'll know more later in the week.
| Footballguys view: Barkley finished the day with four carries for nine yards and one catch for 11 yards. Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley saw increased playing time after his injury. We'll be watching for more on Barkley in coming days. |

Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley ran 4 times for 9 yards and also caught 1 pass for 11 yards on 2 targets in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Tennessee Titans. He was projected for 14.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.5.
| Footballguys view: Barkley was a dud in a great matchup because he missed most of the first half with a shoulder stinger. Tank Bigsby wasn't that impressive in his stead, but Barkley had little effect on the game after he returned. The Bears run defense is generous, so we'll start Barkley in fantasy leagues next week, but this was not the start to the season we were looking for when Barkley went in the second round of drafts. |

Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) left practice early Thursday, Aug. 13, and had his ankle checked out by a trainer.
| Footballguys view: Barkley never went to the medical tent, but removed his cleat. Sounds like it's a minor issue, but we will be monitoring closely. Tank Bigsby has a high ceiling if Barkley misses any time this season. |

Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley had four runs of 20-plus yards last season after recording 17 such runs the previous year.
| Footballguys view: Barkley's 2024 season was highlighted by breakaway runs through the second level, but he was regularly tripped up there in 2025. With Kevin Patullo out of the picture, there's hope that Sean Mannion can get this offense back on track. A lack of a deep postseason run and minimized usage could lead to fresher legs for Barkley. He's settling into Round 2 of fantasy drafts, where both his upside and downside are being recognized. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley could be in line for more working catching the ball out of the backfield, thanks to the departure of WR A.J. Brown (Patriots). He was targeted just 50 times in 2025, and 43 times in 2024. In his final two seasons with the New York Giants, he had 136 total targets. Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion could look to use Barkley more in pass-catching situations to offset the loss of Brown.

Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley reached out to retired RB Todd Gurley for advice on how to make the most of offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's system.
| Footballguys view: Gurley was a teammate of new Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion with the Rams in 2017-2018, and he had two of the best years of his career in the zone running game during the Sean McVay regime. Barkley will be running a lot more outside zone with the quarterback under center, so he is having to revamp his game. Offensive line health is a big question mark along with Barkley's adjustment physically and mentally to a one cut and go style of play, but this season should be a better offensive environment for him after playing in the disaster of an offense run by Kevin Patullo, who was let go in the offseason. |

Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said he isn't focused on heavy lifting at this point in the offseason. 'It's not really the mindset of putting 500 pounds on your back right now,' Barkley said. 'I'm working on trampolines. I'm working on a hula hoop of getting my body coordination back together.'

Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said he is excited to work with offensive coordinator Sean Mannion because he is bringing a new system to the team. 'As a competitor, you love it. You love the challenge of putting yourself in a new system and doing the things that you do really well, and also things that you need to improve on and that they're going to challenge us to do. I feel like if we are able to have that mindset as an offense and buy into that, I think the sky's the limit,' Barkley said.

Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts completed 20-of-35 passes for 168 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in an NFC Wild Card game loss against the San Francisco 49ers, while running five times for 14 yards. RB Saquon Barkley rushed 26 times for a game-high 106 yards with three receptions for 25 yards on six targets. RB Tank Bigsby had four runs for 19 yards, with RB Will Shipley chipping in with a 6-yard grab on his lone touch and target. WR DeVonta Smith posted team bests with eight receptions and 70 yards on 11 targets, while new dad TE Dallas Goedert had four receptions for 33 yards and a TD, while also running for a 1-yard score. WR A.J. Brown had three receptions for 25 yards on seven targets, but he also had a key drop in the fourth quarter and a shouting match with head coach Nick Sirianni during the game. WR Darius Cooper had a 9-yard catch on his only target, while WR Jahan Dotson didn't have a catch on his lone target. DB Quinyon Mitchell had two interceptions and three passes defensed, while DE Jalen Carter had three total stops, a solo tackle, a sack, a tackle for loss and a QB hit.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles offense has been a dysfunctional family all season, and it ended up being the downfall of the 2025 season for the team. AJ Brown had a terrible drop with the team driving to win the game, and was seen having a heated exchange with head coach Nick Sirianni on the sideline earlier in the game. That won't quiet speculation that he gets dealt in the offseason. The 49ers were without their starting linebackers, but the Eagles underachieved on offense all day. It could lead to both the firing of offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo and the hiring of 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh as a head coach in this firing/hiring cycle - but not for at least one more week. Dallas Goedert is also a free agent, so there could be some major changes for this offense in the offseason. |

| Footballguys view: Barkley didn't break free for a long score, but he did still find paydirt once in the easy win and got enough rushing volume to post a decent RB1 line for the second straight week. |

Updating previous reports, Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (groin) likely could have returned to the game if it were closer, according to sources. The injury isn't believed to be serious.
| Footballguys view: Again, this falls into line with Barkley's post-game comments, and it was also the Eagles' official company line. Per the team, he could have returned to the game if needed. He wasn't. But, as Profootballtalk.com noted his morning, Barkley will be needed in 15 days, when the Eagles visit the Packers. The bye week will give Barkley plenty of time to get back up to full speed. Barkley had his best game of the season against the Giants. He rushed for 150 yards with a touchdown on just 14 carries. He caught four passes for 24 yards and a touchdown. |
