Overview
- The Eagles issued an estimated Wednesday injury report that listed Saquon Barkley as a Did Not Participate and added a back-related designation on top of his ongoing hamstring issue.
- Barkley missed two games earlier in the season with a hamstring injury, was cleared for a limited return in Week 7 and carried seven times for 62 yards before reporting new back discomfort.
- Coaches say they will monitor Barkley through the week and will use Thursday’s full practice to clarify his status for the upcoming game in Washington.
- The nonparticipant listing raises short-term operational questions for the Eagles because it increases reliance on backup ball carriers and could change play-calling and snap counts if Barkley is limited or inactive.
- The update adds to broader roster strain for Philadelphia, which has dealt with offensive-line departures, practice‑squad moves and a league-wide rise in injuries that together squeeze the team’s depth.
