Eagles RB Saquon Barkley hurt his left shoulder on the first play of Sunday's win over the Titans. He managed to return for 11 more snaps in the second half, but finished the game with just four carries and a catch for 20 total yards. In Barkley's near-absence, Tank Bigsby "led" the Philly rushing with 33 yards on 13 attempts, a sickly 2.5-yard average. Will Shipley followed with seven carries for 24 yards (3.4 per rush). Each guy caught both of his targets for a mere 5 yards apiece. Bigsby contributed the team's lone rushing score.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said after the win over the Titans that he'll get an MRI on the stinger he suffered on his first carry. Barkley returned for a the start of the second half but had just 3 more carries and 1 catch the rest of the way. RBs Tank Bigsby (13 carries, 2 targets) and Will Shipley (7 carries, 2 targets) split work fairly evenly with Barkley limited. Bigsby came away with 38 yards and a TD to Shipley's 29 yards and would be the better fantasy play if Barkley misses time. We should learn more tomorrow.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley left Week 2 with an apparent left arm injury. He went to the medical tent for further evaluation. Tank Bigsby would take over as Philadelphia's lead back if Barkley is unable to return.

UPDATE: Barkley sustained a stinger and is questionable to return.

Update: Barkley returned for the start of the second half.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley had a solid opener Sunday against Washington, averaging 5.5 yards per carry across his 15 attempts on a low-volume offensive day for Philly. The Eagles ran just 53 offensive plays to Washington's 67 and possessed the ball for 6:40 less. But Barkley didn't get much in the passing game, got iffy interior blocking, and then lost a starting guard to injury.

The Eagles star running-back appeared to tweak his ankle during practice. Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that “During the last period Saquon Barkley was getting his left ankle checked out by a trainer. He never went to the tent but still has his cleat off.”

Eagles OC Sean Mannion said the tush push will remain part of the team's offense this year. In addition to making a change at OC this offseason, the Eagles also lost offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, who was a big proponent of the tush push. But it sounds like QB Jalen Hurts will still be a key figure in the team's short-yardage and goal-line plans.

New Eagles OC Sean Mannion is expected to have QB Jalen Hurts under center more often this season. Philadelphia's 76.3% shotgun rate last year was seventh highest in the league. RB Saquon Barkley sounds excited to take more carries on under center snaps. And the numbers say that it should boost his 2026 production.

The Eagles have selected Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator, according to multiple reports. The former NFL QB has spent just two years as a coach, both on Green Bay's staff. He operated as the QBs coach last season after opening as an offensive assistant.

Eagles HC Nick Sirianni announced Tuesday that he'll be replacing OC Kevin Patullo. The deposed coordinator filled that role for the first time in his career (at any level) this season. He had worked under Sirianni since the two joined Frank Reich's staff with the Colts in 2018. That includes spending the past five years with Sirianni in Philadelphia, four as pass-game coordinator before taking over for Kellen Moore in 2025.

NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that the Eagles confirmed Wednesday they'll "rest several key starters" in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Commanders. It's not yet clear, though, exactly who that plan affects and how.

NFL Nerwork's Mike Garafolo says he expects Philadelphia to rest some starters for its Week 18 home date with the Commanders. The Eagles currently sit third in the NFC playoff standings but could climb to second if they win and the Bears lose to Detroit at home. Both games are set to kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (stinger) is not listed on the final Week 16 injury report. He took Tuesday off but was a full-go in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Barkley will be ready for his usual role vs. the Commanders on Saturday.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (stinger) returned to a full practice on Wednesday. He should be ready for his usual role vs. the Commanders on Saturday. We'll see how Barkley is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (stinger) did not practice on Tuesday. He seemed to come out of last week's win over the Raiders OK, so we're guessing this is more early-week rest than a worrisome injury. We'll see if Barkley gets back on the field tomorrow, ahead of Saturday's game vs. the Commanders. RB Tank Bigsby would be the best fantasy bet if Barkley did miss that one.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley rushed for 78 yards and a TD in Sunday's lopsided win over the Raiders. His 22 carries marked the second straight game of 20+ and fourth 20+ carry outing among six games since the team's bye. Barkley added 14 yards on 2 receptions among three targets, ranking second on the team in that last category on a day that found Jalen Hurts attempting only 15 passes.

The Eagles had nothing working in the pass game Monday night against the Chargers. But the run game finally got going. Saquon Barkley racked up 122 yards and a TD on 20 carries, thanks primarily to a re-emergence of chunk plays. Barkley's biggest strike came from 52 yards out for a lead-grabbing TD early in the fourth quarter. He added three other runs of 10+ yards, including a first-half sequence that produced 19- and 10-yard gains on consecutive first-down carries.

The forecast for today's Bears-Eagles game calls for 15-25 mph winds with gusts up to 35 mph. That's enough to impact deep passes and kicks. We're not adjusting any projections, but you could use the weather as a tiebreaker against guys from this game.

The Eagles jumped out to a 21-0 lead before the middle of the second quarter in Sunday's visit to Dallas, with two of their TDs coming on the ground. Sounds like the ideal environment for RB Saquon Barkley, right? Nope. Barkley got just six first-half carries (for 13 yards) vs. the team's 19 pass attempts. He finished with just 10 rushes for 22 yards against a Cowboys defense that still ranks a lowly 29th in rush DVOA. Barkley did, at least, save his fantasy day with 7 receptions for 52 yards. He ranked second on the team in catches; third in targets and receiving yards.

The Eagles likely lost star RT Lane Johnson for at least the rest of the fantasy season in Sunday night's win over the Lions. Johnson suffered a Lisfranc foot injury that is expected to cost him 4-6 weeks, NFL Network reports.
