Eagles | Executives split on Saquon Barkley's trade value as Eagles may test market Wed Oct 28, 11:55 PM
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.

Eagles | Saquon Barkley estimated as non-participant Wednesday Wed Oct 28, 06:56 PM
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 | Dameon Pierce heading to IR, Eagles' top four RBs all hurt or on IR Wed Oct 28, 05:11 PM
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 | Saquon Barkley doesn't expect back injury to keep him out, hamstring 'came out fine' Tue Oct 27, 12:33 AM
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 | DeVonta Smith ruled out for Monday against Cowboys Sat Oct 24, 03:51 PM
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 | Dallas Goedert expects to play Monday vs. Cowboys Sat Oct 24, 02:17 PM
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. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley expected to 'fight through the injury' to play Monday vs. Cowboys Sat Oct 24, 02:17 PM
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. |

Eagles | Dallas Goedert returns to practice Saturday ahead of Monday night vs. Cowboys Sat Oct 24, 08:44 AM
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. |

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith was not spotted at practice on Thursday. Smith was injured in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Panthers before returning to the game. The Eagles host the Cowboys on Monday night in Week 7.
| Footballguys view: The game in on Monday Night Football, so we need to see Smith be at least limited on Saturday to feel good about starting him. It's Tanner McKee at quarterback, so expect Smith to be in the low-end WR1/high-end WR2 range from a fantasy perspective. |

Eagles | Saquon Barkley expected back at practice Thursday, 'in line to play' Monday vs. Cowboys Thu Oct 22, 09:32 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is expected to return to practice on Thursday and is in line to play Monday against the Cowboys, sources say. Barkley was ruled out of Sunday's loss to the Panthers with the hamstring injury. His return would be a lift for an offense with a banged-up backfield.
| Footballguys view: The game is on Monday Night Football, so we'll have to see what Barkley's status is on Saturday. Barkley has been out of action with this hamstring injury since Week 4. They won't have Jalen Hurts, but getting Barkley back is huge for the offense in what has to be considered a must-win game. We like him in the RB2 range this week from a fantasy perspective. |

The Eagles have just two running backs on their 53-man roster, Saquon Barkley and Dameon Pierce, after waiving RB Jaydon Blue and waiving/injuring RB Carson Steele on Tuesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
| Footballguys view: The team also signed RB Elijah Mitchell to its practice squad and released RB Ian Wheeler from it. The moves "could be a sign" that Eagles RB Barkley, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, "will be back in the mix" for the Week 7 game against the Cowboys. We'll be watching for more. |

Eagles | Jalen Hurts out for season after doctors find multiple blood clots in lungs Mon Oct 19, 10:13 AM
Jalen Hurts will miss the rest of the season after doctors discovered multiple blood clots in the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback's lungs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: Hurts will undergo treatment for the blood clots that will take at least three months, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. After initially being diagnosed with a superficial clot in his calf, Hurts underwent further examination that revealed "a deep vein thrombosis, as well as bilateral pulmonary emboli," the Eagles announced. The team anticipates that Hurts will have the opportunity to resume contact football activities when off the blood thinners. In the meantime, he will remain active around the team and continue to condition. They anticipate no long-term effects. Tanner McKee will continue to start at QB in Hurts' absence. |

Eagles | Eagles could face Cowboys with 'just Pierce and' Jaydon Blue as Barkley still not practicing Mon Oct 19, 03:00 AM
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley still has not practiced as he works back from the hamstring injury he suffered in the Rams game, and with Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley out for multiple weeks, Philadelphia could go into its Week 7 Monday night game against the Cowboys with just RB Dameon Pierce and RB Jaydon Blue.
| Footballguys view: Pierce has averaged 1.3 and 2.9 yards per carry over the last two weeks, and the Eagles have run 31 times for 57 yards in losses to the Jaguars and Panthers, including 35 yards on 13 carries Sunday. Head coach Nick Sirianni pointed to the Panthers' lead for the lack of runs Sunday, saying, "Obviously, right now we're not running the ball the way we want to." With Jalen Hurts now out for the rest of the season, it's fair to wonder how hard the Eagles will push to get Barkley back in the mix. |

Eagles | WR Makai Lemon leaves briefly with undisclosed injury Sun Oct 18, 07:30 PM
Eagles WR Makai Lemon was sent to the medical tent during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Panthers due to an unspecified injury.
| Footballguys view: The rookie wide receiver, who had two catches for 6 yards on five targets prior to checking into the tent, returned to action quickly. He added another catch to finish the day with three catches for 19 yards. He was third on the team in targets and finished fourth in receptions. According to CBSSports.com, with Dontayvion Wicks (undisclosed) leaving the game in the final period, Lemon and DeVonta Smith figure to serve as the top WRs available to fill-in QB Tanner McKee the rest of the way. |

Eagles | WR DeVonta Smith returns to the game Sun Oct 18, 03:50 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith exited briefly early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Panthers, but was able to return.
| Footballguys view: While Smith, who missed the last two games with a hamstring injury, returned, Pro Football Focus notes he didn't see his normal slate of snaps. He posted a 71% route participation rate, often getting rotated out in 12 personnel, but also mixing out of 11 personnel more than usual. Still, Smith led the team with seven catches for 75 yards, including a 19-yard touchdown from Tanner McKee. His 20.5 fantasy points ranked eighth at the position through Sunday's late-afternoon games. |

Eagles | Eagles place Jalen Hurts on IR, 'expected to be out indefinitely' Sat Oct 17, 04:00 PM
The Eagles have placed QB Jalen Hurts on injured reserve after consultations with numerous doctors and experts that went into Saturday, sources told ESPN and NFL Network. Hurts is expected to be out indefinitely. Earlier Saturday, the team had not been planning to place him on IR despite his indefinite absence.
| Footballguys view: We'll be watching to see if the team decides that blood thinners are the best course of action for Hurts. He wouldn't be able to play until that treatment resolved the blood clot. How long that would take is impossible to predict. It's possible that Hurts doesn't play again this season. Tanner McKee takes over as the starter, and with Andy Dalton released, the team also signed bazooka-armed Joe Milton III from the Cowboys practice squad. |

Eagles | DeVonta Smith 'good to go' for Sunday vs. Panthers Fri Oct 16, 04:06 PM
Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Panthers, per the team's Friday injury report. Smith had been upgraded to limited practice on Thursday and practiced again on Friday.
| Footballguys view: It's good to see Smith back out there after missing a couple of games. But he'll return to a Tanner McKee-led offense without Lane Johnson or Cam Jurgens. With a healthy Jalen Hurts and a full set of weapons, Smith would have been a back-end WR1, but this week's outlook puts him closer to WR3 territory. |

Eagles | Dontayvion Wicks playing Sunday vs. Panthers Fri Oct 16, 04:05 PM
Eagles WR Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) is playing in Sunday's game against the Panthers. Wicks was limited in practice on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday.
| Footballguys view: With Tanner McKee getting the start, Wicks is a shaky Week 6 starter. DeVonta Smith is also likely to return, capping any appeal Wicks might have had. If Smith can't go, Wicks has some value as a desperation flex, but that would require an unlikely setback for Smith. The Eagles could struggle in this game with a revamped offensive line, a backup quarterback, and no Saquon Barkley. |
