Report: Eagles RB Saquon Barkley 'week to week' with hamstring injury
PhillyVoice • • sports
Key Points:
- Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley suffered a hamstring injury early in their game against the Los Angeles Rams and is expected to be out on a week-to-week basis, avoiding a more serious injury.
- With Tank Bigsby reportedly headed to injured reserve, the Eagles now have only one healthy running back, Will Shipley, on their active roster, making their backfield extremely thin.
- The Eagles may need to promote practice squad running backs Dameon Pierce, Jaydon Blue, or Carson Steele for their Week 5 game in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars unless they acquire another running back.
- Barkley has shown improved explosiveness this season, averaging 5.1 yards per carry on 36 rushes, but it remains uncertain how the hamstring injury will affect his future performance.
- The Eagles are dealing with multiple injuries to key offensive players, including Lane Johnson, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Landon Dickerson, impacting their offensive depth.
