Overview

  • Barkley pulled up on a 6-yard run early in the first quarter on Sunday and was taken into the medical tent before walking to the locker room while visibly limping.
  • The Eagles initially listed him as questionable to return and then officially ruled him out for the remainder of the Week 4 game.
  • Tank Bigsby replaced Barkley immediately and, along with Will Shipley, will absorb a larger workload for the Eagles' depleted offense.
  • This is Barkley’s second in-season exit in recent weeks after a Week 2 stinger, and his absence compounds existing losses to key offensive starters including DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert and Lane Johnson.
  • Further imaging and evaluation are pending to determine a recovery timetable, and hamstring strains are unpredictable for running backs so the team will proceed with caution while fantasy and roster decisions are reassessed.
