NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Saquon Barkley practiced on Friday after missing earlier sessions this week due to hamstring and back injuries, but his participation remains uncertain for Sunday’s game against the Commanders, likely making him a game-time decision.
- Barkley has been managing multiple injuries and is considered a risky RB2 option for fantasy managers, with limited snaps possible and Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue poised to share carries if Barkley cannot play.
- RJ Harvey was ruled out for Week 8 against the Chiefs due to a knee injury, with Jonah Coleman expected to take on a larger role in both rushing and passing offense.
- Jaylen Waddle is questionable for Week 8 against the Chiefs after limited practice sessions, and his playing time or snap count may be limited depending on his recovery.
- Derwin James will miss Week 8 due to a hamstring setback, potentially moving him toward injured reserve and weakening the defense against the Rams; meanwhile, Ladd McConkey is cleared to play after concussion recovery.
