Overview
- Barkley is listed as questionable for Monday night but NFL reporters Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo said he is expected to play after he fully practiced on Saturday.
- He left in Week 4 with a hamstring injury and missed the last two games, so his return would be his first game action since that injury.
- The Eagles will release the official inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff, and that list is the formal way his availability will be confirmed for the game.
- Even if active, the Eagles are likely to limit his snaps because hamstring injuries prompt cautious workload control and the team has not had him in game action for two weeks.
- Philadelphia’s offense is shorthanded with Jalen Hurts out for the season and DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks ruled out, so Barkley’s presence matters for play-calling and fantasy lineups against a Cowboys run defense that has allowed heavy rushing yards this season; Barkley has 182 rushing yards on 36 carries through four games.
