NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Saquon Barkley, dealing with hamstring and back injuries, has been removed from the injury report and is expected to play in Week 8 against the Commanders, though his status could be a game-time decision.
- Barkley’s return is crucial for the Eagles, who face significant backfield injuries, but he may have limited snaps, making him a risky RB2 option for fantasy managers.
- Seahawks running backs Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price are both progressing in practice and likely to play in Week 8, creating a crowded backfield alongside Emanuel Wilson.
- Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne suffered a significant foot injury expected to sideline him for the foreseeable future, likely requiring injured reserve placement.
- Several key players are questionable or ruled out for Week 8, including KaVontae Turpin (out), George Pickens (questionable), Tyler Allgeier (active), RJ Harvey (out), and Jaylen Waddle (questionable), impacting fantasy football decisions.
- The Miami Dolphins claimed edge rusher Jamree Kromah off waivers from the Bears as they seek to bolster their front seven for the future.
