Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Not seen Wednesday
Saquon Barkley (hamstring) wasn't spotted at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.Barkley was inactive for this past Sunday's loss to the Jaguars in London due to a hamstring injury suffered one week prior, but head coach Nick Sirianni told Zach Berman of The Athletic on Monday that he's "hopeful" the running back will gain clearance to play in Week 6 against the Panthers. Assuming Barkley goes down as a DNP on Wednesday, he's not beginning the week on the right foot, but he'll still have two more chances to mix into drills Thursday and Friday.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Could return for Week 6
Head coach Nick Sirianni said Monday that he's "hopeful" that both Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will both be cleared to play against the Panthers on Sunday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.Barkley was sidelined for Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars in London due to a right hamstring injury that he sustained during the Philadelphia Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Rams. Wednesday will be the first Eagles practice of Week 6 prep, and even a limited session would have Barkley trending toward a return against Carolina. Will Shipley was diagnosed with a partial tear of his plantar fascia following Sunday's game, and with Barkley and Tank Bigsby (abdomen, IR) both sidelined, that currently leaves Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele as the two healthy running backs on the Eagles' 53-man roster.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Ruled out for Week 5
Saquon Barkley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Jacksonville.Barkley didn't practice this week in the wake of suffering a right hamstring injury this past Sunday against the Rams, so his lack of availability for Week 5 doesn't come as a surprise. With Tank Bigsby (abdomen) on injured reserve, it'll be the Will Shipley show out of the Philadelphia Eagles backfield Sunday, while Dameon Pierce also is on hand for RB reps that linger, and Jaydon Blue and Carson Steele are options to be elevated from the practice squad. Barkley's next chance for game action is Sunday, Oct. 18 versus the Panthers.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Another DNP on Thursday
Saquon Barkley (hamstring) officially didn't practice Thursday.Barkley has yet to log any on-field work since tweaking his right hamstring on his fourth offensive snap this past Sunday against the Rams. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Barkley is considered week-to-week, and the Philadelphia Eagles can make a ruling on the running back's status for a Week 5 road matchup with the Jaguars on Friday's injury report. Will Shipley is poised for a workhorse role out of Philadelphia's backfield this weekend assuming Barkley indeed is ruled out.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Not seen at practice Thursday
Saquon Barkley (hamstring) wasn't present during the open portion of Thursday's practice, Tim McManus of ESPN reports.Barkley appears as if he'll go down as a non-participant for a second session in a row to kick off Week 5 prep, something that'll be confirmed once the Philadelphia Eagles post Thursday's injury report. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Barkley currently is viewed as week-to-week due to the hamstring issue that knocked him out of this past Sunday's game against the Rams after just four offensive snaps, so the running back's continued likely lack of activity isn't unexpected.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: No practice Wednesday
Saquon Barkley (hamstring) officially didn't practice WednesdayBarkley lasted just four offensive snaps before exiting this past Sunday's loss to the Rams in the first quarter due to a hamstring issue. Head coach Nick Sirianni remained mum Monday regarding Barkley's status, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic, though Ian Rapoport of NFL Network later reported that the running back is considered week-to-week with an injury that's not deemed to be long term. As a result, Barkley's lack of activity Wednesday isn't a shock, and if he indeed sits out Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, he likely will pass off the No. 1 spot in the Philadelphia Eagles backfield to Will Shipley, with Dameon Pierce backing him up.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Deemed week-to-week due to hamstring issue
Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, though the Philadelphia Eagles don't view the injury as long term, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.After exiting early in Sunday's loss to the Rams with the hamstring issue, Barkley now appears likely to miss at least some time. However, the Eagles -- and Barkley's fantasy managers -- can breathe a sign of relief since the injury doesn't appear likely to sideline the star running back for a substantial period of time. With Tank Bigsby (abdomen) expected to land on IR, Philadelphia's backfield is down to just Will Shipley among healthy options on the active roster. The Eagles will likely turn to one or more of Jaydon Blue, Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele from the practice squad for Week 5 and potentially beyond.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Status uncertain with injured hamstring
Coach Nick Sirianni said, "We'll see," Monday afternoon when asked about Saquon Barkley's new hamstring injury, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports. "We'll have more answers Wednesday for you probably with that stuff," Sirianni added.Barkley injured his hamstring in the opening minutes of Sunday's eventual loss to the Rams and wasn't able to return to action. Tank Bigsby was the biggest beneficiary of Barkley's absence, but he exited late with a lower-body issue that will require core muscle surgery and a stint on IR, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. With Barkley's status uncertain, the Philadelphia Eagles currently host one healthy running back (Will Shipley) on the active roster, while Jaydon Blue, Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele are options to be bumped up from the practice squad.
