Coach Pat Shurmur relayed Monday that "there's a possibility" Barkley (ankle) will play Thursday night against the Patriots.
Barkley was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimation, which is a good sign, but the star running back is far from a lock to return to action Week 6. With Wayne Gallman dealing with a concussion, Jon Hilliman and Elijhaa Penny currently profile as the team's healthiest backfield options.
