Saquon Barkley Exits With Hamstring Issue; Eagles Await Tests

Tests scheduled Monday will determine the injury’s severity and shape Philadelphia’s short-term roster plans.

Overview

  • Barkley left the game after taking two carries with reported hamstring pain, did not return and finished the contest with just two rushing attempts in a 24-20 loss.
  • He was evaluated in the team’s medical tent, then sent to the locker room for further examination before the club ordered additional testing.
  • NFL reporter Ian Rapoport said early signs do not point to a major injury but stressed that imaging and specialist tests will dictate any recovery timeline.
  • The Eagles are already short-handed on offense, so Barkley’s potential absence would force more work from Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley and change play-calling for the upcoming London trip.
  • Hamstring problems can range from a minor strain to a longer tear, so the next official Eagles update and test results will be the clearest signal of how much time Barkley might miss.
