Overview

- DeVonta Smith was upgraded to limited participation on Thursday after missing multiple sessions and is listed with a lingering hamstring plus a toe issue, giving team insiders cautious optimism he could play.
- Saquon Barkley did not practice on Thursday with a hamstring problem and remains sidelined, increasing the chance that he will miss the Week 6 game.
- With Tank Bigsby on injured reserve and Will Shipley expected to miss the game, Philadelphia's running back depth would fall to Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele if Barkley is unavailable.
