Saquon Barkley Says He’ll Play vs. Giants as Documentary Revives 2023 Trade Dispute

Barkley says knee soreness will not keep him out of Thursday’s visit to his former team.

Overview

  • The Eagles listed Barkley with knee "general soreness," upgraded him to limited on Tuesday’s estimated report, and he said he “fully expects” to play Thursday at MetLife Stadium.
  • Barkley’s usage and production are down in 2025, with 267 rushing yards on 83 carries (3.2 per attempt) through five games after a six-carry, 30-yard outing in the loss to Denver that included a 47-yard TD catch.
  • Jalen Hurts, Barkley and A.J. Brown confirmed a private, lengthy discussion about fixing the offense, describing it as constructive and focused on the team.
  • A new documentary details that Giants owner John Mara denied Barkley’s 2023 request to seek a trade, a chapter that preceded his free‑agency move to Philadelphia and his award‑winning 2024 season.
  • Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart said there was "never a doubt" he would play despite a hamstring issue, with practice reports listing him limited Monday and full Tuesday.
