NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Saquon Barkley is expected to return to practice and play in Week 7 against the Cowboys after a hamstring injury sidelined him since Week 4, likely earning the majority of backfield touches despite the absence of Jalen Hurts.
- The Eagles face a depleted backfield with Tank Bigsby on IR and Will Shipley and Dameon Pierce filling in, while Barkley’s potential trade remains a topic as the deadline approaches.
- Other injury updates include Christian Watson and Matthew Golden of the Packers practicing with limited participation but expected to play, and Zach Charbonnet and Jordan Mason fully practicing and trending toward Week 7 returns.
- Several players such as Brock Bowers, Mike Washington Jr., Trent McDuffie, Budda Baker, and Jonah Elliss are dealing with injuries that may affect their availability or performance in Week 7.
- Christian Kirk returned to full practice and is a possibility for Week 7 with the 49ers, potentially stepping into a significant role due to injuries to Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel.
