Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Giants after another limited practice on Friday. Barkley, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, did not practice Wednesday before returning on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With the Eagles shopping most of their vets, it's peculiar that they keep playing an injured Barkley while maintaining the stance that he won't be traded. He split touches with Elijah Mitchell last week and looked clearly limited by his injuries. As he gets healthier, his role may grow. But fantasy managers should hope the Eagles explore a trade and put him in a better offensive ecosystem. It's hard to trust him as anything more than a shaky RB2 this week. |

Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants, the team announced on its Friday injury report. Wicks was also ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Wicks will miss his second straight game. He's droppable in most formats unless the Eagles quickly turn things around. |

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants, the team announced on its Friday injury report. Smith was also ruled out for last Sunday's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Smith's hamstring issues have lingered since this preseason, and he hasn't practiced since Week 6. The Eagles are testing out Joe Milton III this weekend to see what they have on their depth chart. When Smith returns, it's hard to say what the Eagles will look like. His upside is too high to drop him, but fantasy managers should prepare for more frustration this season. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was practicing on Friday, the team's last practice before Sunday's game against the Giants. Barkley, who has been dealing with hamstring and back issues, did not practice Wednesday before returning to practice Thursday.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is among the contract-year veterans other teams perceive to be available ahead of the trade deadline, Sports Illustrated reported. With Philadelphia on a six-game losing streak, WR Hollywood Brown, CB Riq Woolen, CB Michael Carter II, and QB Tanner McKee are also in that group. DT Moro Ojomo, also in a contract year, is "a different story," as GM Howie Roseman has given other teams the impression he will try to sign him long term.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles are having a fire sale at the trade deadline in what looks like a lost season. Goedert has been a longtime Eagle, and his role as one of their few healthy pass catchers keeps him in the TE1 discussion. It's hard to imagine a trade that increases his fantasy value, but we'll update here if one happens. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley returned to practice on Thursday. Barkley did not practice Wednesday while dealing with hamstring and back issues. The Eagles host the Giants on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Barkley rushed 13 times for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' Week 8 loss to the Commanders, adding 24 yards on one reception. He's a key cog for what the Eagles want to do, and they'll lean on him more than ever with Joe Milton getting the start at quarterback. He's at least a flex option against the Giants in Week 9. |

Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) remained sidelined at practice on Wednesday. Wicks was ruled out of last Sunday's game and is not practicing to open the week ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice on Wednesday. Smith was ruled out of last Sunday's game and is not practicing to open the week ahead of Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants.
| Footballguys view: Smith has missed game action since Week 6, so it's no surprise he remains sidelined. Makai Lemon will be the Eagles' No. 1 receiver with Joe Milton III now under center at quarterback. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report with hamstring and back injuries. Barkley was off the injury report and declared 'good to go' ahead of last Sunday night's game at Washington. The Eagles host the Giants in Week 9 on Sunday.

The Eagles are naming QB Joe Milton III their starting quarterback and benching QB Tanner McKee for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Giants, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday. McKee is 0-3 as a starter. Milton will be the fourth different Eagles quarterback to throw a pass this season, after Jalen Hurts (blood clots), Andy Dalton (released) and McKee. Philadelphia is 2-6 and has lost six straight.
| Footballguys view: Milton has a big arm, like 80 yards on a rope kind of arm, and he's going to be able to stretch the field because of that. He'll need to work on his consistency, but the athleticism and arm strength make him an intriguing prospect. Add Milton in start-2QB/superflex leagues as a "lottery ticket" addition. It could work out okay, or it could be disastrous in a lost season for the Eagles. |

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said on Monday that the team is sticking with QB Tanner McKee as its starter. "Tanner is our guy. We're not making any changes there," Sirianni said.
| Footballguys view: The decision comes after Philadelphia's 27-10 loss to the Commanders on Sunday. Of course, it's not like the team has an array of options. The Eagles mustered just 268 yards of offense in Washington. The running game was held to 91 yards, and McKee couldn't hold up against the Commanders' pressure. Washington racked up a season-best five sacks as McKee was pressured 20 times (46.5% pressure rate), and it seemed as though he was under duress far more than that. Philadelphia plays the Giants in Week 9. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley will not be traded before next week's trade deadline, sources told NFL Network. The report puts an end to speculation that Barkley could be moved out of Philadelphia amid the Eagles' struggles.
| Footballguys view: It wouldn't make much sense for the Eagles to play Barkley when he is not 100% (by his own admission) if they were planning on trading him. Barkley is a big part of the team's 2027 plans. There will be some big changes this offseason, but Barkley will be retained as a franchise cornerstone. |

The Philadelphia Eagles elevated RB Elijah Mitchell from the practice squad for their game.

Eagles rookie WR Makai Lemon will have another big workload on offense in Sunday night's game at Washington, with the Eagles without WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle). With Britain Covey out this week with a knee injury, the Eagles will likely turn to Lemon at punt returner as well; he took over for Covey during the Cowboys game but did not get a chance to return a punt. "Obviously, you can see he's doing a really good job kind of progressing as a receiver," special teams coordinator Michael Clay said. "He's doing the same thing as a punt returner."
| Footballguys view: Lemon caught 7-of-8 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' Week 7 loss to the Cowboys. Against the Commanders on Sunday Night Football, we've got Lemon in the WR3/flex range as one of the top options in the Eagles' passing attack. |

Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday night's Week 8 game against the Commanders. Wicks also missed last Monday's game against the Cowboys with the ankle injury. WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is also out for Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Wicks will miss his second straight game, as will DeVonta Smith. Expect Makai Lemon to be the team's top receiver, and he's a solid WR3 against the Commanders. |
Dontayvion Wicks player page
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is out again for Sunday night's game against the Commanders. Smith did not practice Wednesday and remained sidelined at Thursday's and Friday's practices.
| Footballguys view: Smith missed Weeks 4 and 5 with a hamstring injury, played through it in Week 6, and will now miss a second straight game. The team is downplaying the severity, and he hasn't been placed on IR, which is a promising sign. Still, being declared out on a Friday after a full week of DNPs isn't reassuring. He'll hope to return to practice next week. Makai Lemon had the best game of his young career last week and should serve as the team's top option again on Sunday night against the Commanders. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday night's game against the Commanders. Earlier in the week Barkley had been tracking to miss the game, with no sign of him at Thursday's practice, before he was spotted at practice on Friday.
| Footballguys view: This is a bit of a surprise, since Barkley missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. The Eagles were down to Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue after Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and Dameon Pierce all landed on IR. Barkley is expected to get the bulk of the work, and it remains to be seen whether and how the team will monitor his workload. He's a risky back-end RB2 this week. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was still sidelined at Friday's practice, the team's last of the week. Smith did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday either, and he missed the Week 7 game against the Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: It sure seems like Smith won't play this week. The Eagles are decimated by injuries now and have little reason to rush Smith back. Expect Makai Lemon to operate as the team's top receiver on Sunday night. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley, who has a hamstring injury, was 'out here' at the team's practice on Friday. Barkley was not seen at the Eagles' first practice of the week on Thursday. Earlier on Friday, he was reported to be tracking to miss Sunday night's game at the Commanders.

Eagles RB Jaydon Blue will likely be active for Sunday night's game at the Commanders, as RB Saquon Barkley has not practiced this week while dealing with hamstring and back injuries. Unless Barkley bounces back quickly, the Eagles' running backs on Sunday night will be Blue and Elijah Mitchell, with Will Shipley, Tank Bigsby and Dameon Pierce on injured reserve. Blue is on the 53-man roster, while Mitchell is on the practice squad. "I feel like I'm very comfortable in the offense," Blue said on Thursday. "But I'm ready. I feel like I'm going to take advantage of every opportunity that I get."
| Footballguys view: With Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and Dameon Pierce all down, the Eagles will finally give Jaydon Blue a shot. Blue is a spark plug who can score from anywhere on the field. He lacks discipline and consistency, which likely explains why he's struggled to get playing time in his NFL career. But for desperate managers looking for a bye-week fill-in, Blue is likely available and could make his week with one big play. |

Eagles DT Jalen Carter appeared on the team's injury report on Thursday with an abdomen injury. Carter had been playing through a hairline wrist fracture earlier this season before practicing in full in mid-October. The Eagles play at the Commanders on Sunday night.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was 'still sidelined' on Philadelphia's Thursday injury report, ahead of Sunday night's game against the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Smith was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday after missing Monday night's game against the Cowboys. Two days of "DNP" is not a good sign, but practicing on Friday might make Smith limited in Week 8. Come back to see what Smith can do on Friday. |

There was 'no sign' of Eagles RB Saquon Barkley at Thursday's practice, the team's first practice of the week. Barkley, who is dealing with hamstring and back injuries, was estimated as a non-participant on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Barkley is clearly on the wrong side of questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders. The Eagles could be down to Jaydon Blue and Elijah Mitchell at the running back position if Barkley can't play. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is among the players Philadelphia may shop ahead of the November 10 trade deadline, as executives around the league believe the 2-5 Eagles will look to offload at least some contracts and clear cap space. One AFC executive said Barkley's lingering hamstring injury and the back injury he suffered in Monday's loss to the Cowboys will likely hamper his value, since teams more often trade for running backs to help in the same year. Two NFC executives debated Barkley's value, one thinking it could reach as high as an early second-round pick while the other estimated it closer to a fourth. DT Moro Ojomo, TE Dallas Goedert and CB Riq Woolen were also named as players the Eagles may test the market for.
| Footballguys view: Even with his lingering injuries, Barkley would have at least a few teams interested if he's available. The Eagles are always in the market because GM Howie Roseman is addicted to trading. We'll see if another team offers the Eagles enough to get Barkley. It's unlikely to take a premium pick (or picks) to get the veteran back. |

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) would not have participated in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's estimated report. The Eagles held only a walk-through on Wednesday, so the report is an estimation. Philadelphia visits the Commanders on Sunday night in Week 8.
| Footballguys view: Barkley has been dealing with his hamstring injury since Week 4, but he picked up a back injury in Week 7. Let's see what Friday brings as the Eagles are incredibly thin at the running back position. Jaydon Blue is behind Barkley, and Elijah Mitchell is on their practice squad. |

Eagles RB Dameon Pierce is heading to injured reserve. Pierce joins RBs Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley on IR, while RB1 Saquon Barkley is dealing with back and hamstring injuries. Pierce was injured in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss to the Cowboys after taking on more of the workload with Barkley on a limited "pitch count" in his return.
| Footballguys view: Things are so thin behind Barkley -- and that's even if he's healthy enough to play. Behind Barkley is Jaydon Blue, and Elijah Mitchell is on the Eagles' practice squad. |

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert did not take his normal workload in Monday night's loss to the Cowboys after missing two practices due to injury last week. He still ranked second on the team in targets with seven.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said his back flared up on his first run of Monday's loss to the Cowboys, noting that sometimes you overcompensate when dealing with a different injury. Barkley said his hamstring came out fine and he doesn't expect the back to keep him out. "Just can't find a way to finish the game. But yeah, banged up a little bit," Barkley said.
| Footballguys view: Barkley returned from a two-game absence only to be limited -- he spent time in the medical tent, on the exercise bike, and stretching on the sidelines. Still, he was effective. Barkley had seven carries for 62 yards and a touchdown and added two receptions for nine yards before the back injury sidelined him. Barkley became the first starter in the last 20 seasons to play at least nine offensive snaps in a game and get a touch on all of them. The Eagles play the Commanders in Week 8. We'll have more on Barkley in coming days. |

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday night's Week 7 game against the Cowboys. Smith did not practice Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.
| Footballguys view: No practices for three days pretty much summed up Smith's availability. The team will be without Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) as well in Week 7. That means guys like Makai Lemon, Hollywood Brown, and Darius Cooper could be tasked with doing more. We may see TE Dallas Goedert out there on Monday night, and that will greatly help QB Tanner McKee with all these wide receiver injuries. |

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) expects to play in Monday night's Week 7 game against the Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: Goedert practiced fully on Saturday after missing Thursday's and Friday's sessions, and he has no injury designation for Monday night. Tanner McKee should be utilizing Goedert early and often against the Cowboys. That makes him a low-end TE1 option for Fantasy GMs in Week 7. |
Dallas Goedert player page
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is expected to "fight through the injury to play" in Monday night's Week 7 game against the Cowboys. Barkley, who was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, practiced fully on Saturday and is listed as questionable.
| Footballguys view: Barkley has been out of action since injuring his hamstring in Week 4. He should be back in Week 7, but now Tanner McKee is in at quarterback. There should be plenty of opportunities for the veteran back as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield. With Barkley on the field, we've got him in the low-end RB1 range for Fantasy GMs in PPR formats. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert returned to practice on Saturday after missing the first two days of the week with a knee injury. The return gives him a chance to play in Monday night's Week 7 game against the Cowboys. The Eagles were set to release their game statuses later Saturday afternoon.
| Footballguys view: There has been optimism that Goedert would be able to play on Monday night against the Cowboys. With Tanner McKee at quarterback, Goedert makes for a nice security blanket target. That makes him a potential TE1 for Fantasy GMs if he does play in Week 7. |
