    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Plans to play through back issue

    Saquon Barkley said after Monday's 38-21 loss to the Cowboys that his "hamstring came out great," and noted that the back issue that kept him out for the entire fourth quarter isn't anything that he expects to prevent him from playing Sunday against the Commanders, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.While suiting up for the first time since Week 4 after missing the Philadelphia Eagles' previous two games due to a hamstring strain, Barkley took the field for just 10 snaps on the night but was impactful in his limited playing time. He touched the ball on nine of those snaps, carrying seven times for 62 yards and a touchdown to go with two receptions for nine yards on two targets. Heading into the game, the Eagles had deliberately planned to manage Barkley's workload to some extent, but he ended up seeing fewer snaps than anticipated after his back locked up on him following a 29-yard run in the first quarter. He didn't end up taking any snaps after the third quarter, with the Eagles leaning exclusively on Dameon Pierce (undisclosed) and Elijah Mitchell out of the backfield over the final 15 minutes. Fortunately for Barkley, the back issue doesn't seem to be a major concern, but his activity in practice this week will warrant monitoring as the Eagles assess his availability for Sunday's contest.

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Suffers compensatory back injury

    Saquon Barkley said Monday that his back injury was compensatory after he tweaked his hamstring on his first run of the game and tried to play through it, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.Barkley had been dealing with a hamstring injury for multiple weeks coming into Monday, but he tried to tough it out and give Philadelphia a boost. He did just that on Philadelphia's first drive, as he gained 12 yards on a reception on the first play and immediately followed that with a 29-yard rush. Barkley appeared to pull up a bit lame on the latter play, but he still managed an eight-yard rushing TD less than two minutes later. However, the star running back was used only intermittently for the remainder of the contest, and Dameon Pierce ended up logging 14 carries (on which he gained 47 yards and scored a TD) to Barkley's seven. Smith reports that Barkley was on a "pitch count" ahead of Monday's game; however, he was deemed questionable to return early in the fourth quarter with what was described as a back injury and never returned. It appears the back issue was a side effect of Barkley tweaking the hamstring problem, which casts considerable doubt on his ability to suit up next Sunday against the Commanders.

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Questionable to return to Monday Night Football

    Saquon Barkley is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Cowboys due to a back injury.Barkley entered Monday's contest managing a hamstring injury but was ultimately able to suit up. The star running back looked hobbled throughout much of the game but was able to tally 62 yards and a touchdown on just seven carries along with two catches on two targets for nine yards before being deemed questionable to return early in the fourth period. The Philadelphia Eagles indicated that Barkley is dealing with a back issue when announcing his 'questionable' tag, so it's unclear if the hamstring is also still bothering him.

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: 'Trending toward playing' Monday

    Saquon Barkley (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cowboys, is "trending toward playing," Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.Though No. 1 wideout DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Week 7 contest, the Philadelphia Eagles are expected to get one of their other top playmakers in Barkley back in action following a two-game absence. Barkley participated in practice throughout the week, turning in limited sessions Thursday and Friday before upgrading to full activity Saturday. Assuming his hamstring checks out fine while warming up Monday, Barkley's availability should be confirmed when the Eagles release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Practicing Saturday

    Saquon Barkley (hamstring) was on the field for the start of Saturday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.Barkley was a limited participant in each of the first two practices of Week 7 prep as the star running back works his way back from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for each of the Philadelphia Eagles' last two games. Saturday's practice report will shed light on Barkley's status ahead of Monday's game against the Cowboys, and a full session would likely be enough for him to avoid an injury designation. His return would result in Dameon Pierce reverting to a rotational role in the backfield.

    Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Limited Thursday

    Saquon Barkley (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.This marks Barkley's first official on-field work since he initially suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4 against the Rams. He consequently sat out Weeks 5 and 6, but his return to drills this week at least gives him a chance to suit up Monday versus the Cowboys. Barkley told Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer on Thursday that he wants to play in Week 7 but still needs to test out his hamstring over the next few days. Ultimately, Saturday's practice report will reveal Barkley's odds to return to action.
