Saquon Barkley (hamstring/back) DNP Wednesday

NBC Sports • • sports

Key Points:

  • Saquon Barkley did not participate in Wednesday’s walkthrough practice due to re-aggravated hamstring and new back injuries from Week 7, but remains optimistic about playing in Week 8 against the Commanders, though he may see limited snaps.
  • Eagles running backs are plagued with injuries, making Barkley a risky but necessary RB2 option; Dameon Pierce is expected to take a larger workload if Barkley cannot play.
  • Several Eagles players, including Michael Wilson (ribs), Tyler Allgeier (toe), Jihaad Campbell (hamstring/quad), and DeVonta Smith (hamstring), were limited or did not practice, raising concerns about their availability for Week 8.
  • Commanders defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) is unlikely to play in Week 8, while wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hand/hamstring) is resting but expected to return to practice soon.
  • Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens practiced in a limited capacity despite shoulder and hamstring issues and is expected to play in Week 8, while Jalen Carter of the Eagles revealed he will not be fully healthy this season due to a wrist injury.
