Saquon Barkley was active for Week 9 despite dealing with hamstring and back injuries that only allowed him to be a limited participant for the Friday practice leading up to it. He ended Sunday Night Football with 30 yards and a TD on a team-high 13 carries while adding a 24-yard reception on his lone target. Barkley finished with 12.4 PPR points to rank as an RB2 pending Monday Night Football.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring, back) is not listed on the final injury report and will play vs. the Commanders on Sunday night. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and, if last week is any indication, won’t be close to 100% for this one. Barkley wound up playing just 10 snaps last week, although he got 9 touches and took them for 71 yards and a TD. He’s a risk/reward Week 8 fantasy start. Check your Team Dashboard to see if he belongs in your starting lineup.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring, back) did not practice on Wednesday. He claims his hamstring came out of Monday night's game fine, but it's still on the injury report. And Barkley tweaked his back compensating for the hamstring. We'd consider him iffy for Sunday night's game vs. the Commanders. The Eagles placed RB Dameon Pierce on IR earlier today, leaving Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue behind Barkley. Mitchell would be the fantasy flier if Barkley doesn't play against Washington.

If you watched Monday night's Eagles-Cowboys game, then you probably saw a wincing Saquon Barkley more than once. Philly's starting RB played just 10 snaps, logging 7 carries and 2 catches on 2 targets while working through his hamstring issue as well as a new back injury. Barkley said after the game, though, that neither injury should be a big deal. He said the "hamstring came out great," according to ESPN's Tim McManus, and that he doesn't expect the back problem to cost him further time.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley came into Monday night's game vs. the Cowboys questionable with a hamstring injury. He was noticeably hobbled from his very first touch of the game. Barkley played limited snaps but touched the ball most times he was on the field. He totaled 71 yards and a score. But his last touch came late in the third quarter, when Barkley was deemed questionable to return with a back injury. So that's two ailments he's dealing with ahead of a short week. Consider Barkley iffy at best for Sunday's game vs. the Commanders. We'll keep you updated on his status. Philadelphia also lost RB Dameon Pierce to an undisclosed injury in the fourth quarter of tonight's game, leaving Elijah Mitchell as the team's last healthy RB. RB Tank Bigsby isn't eligible to return until Week 9, while RB Will Shipley is out until Week 11.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Cowboys. There’s some workload and re-injury risk in his first action since Week 4, but Barkley is available to get into fantasy lineups if you were waiting on him.

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) will play vs. the Cowboys on Monday night. Barkley is officially listed as questionable but has been expected to play all week and got in a full practice on Saturday. There's still some re-injury risk here as Barkley returns from a multi-week hamstring injury, but he belongs in the vast majority of Week 7 fantasy lineups.

The Eagles have deemed RB Saquon Barkley questionable for Monday night's game against the Cowboys with his hamstring injury. Barkley finished the week with a full Saturday practice, so we're projecting him to play. But the official designation says it's not a guarantee. We'll watch for further word on his outlook ahead of Sunday's early games, but make sure you plan accordingly. Dameon Pierce would start if Barkley sits.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is expected to practice on Thursday and is "in line" to play vs. the Cowboys on Monday night, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. We'll see if Barkley makes it through the practice week setback-free after missing the past 2 games. If he does, he'll be returning to a struggling Eagles offense but a matchup with Dallas' 32nd-ranked RB defense. Barkley could also pick up some extra passing-game work with RB Will Shipley out.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. RB Will Shipley (foot) joined RB Tank Bigsby on IR, leaving Dameon Pierce as Philly’s lead back for this one. It’s tough to get excited about the upside in this Tanner McKee-led offense with a poor offensive line. But Pierce should get decent volume against a Carolina team that sits 28th in our Run Defense Power Rankings.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He's trending toward missing another game. With RBs Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley also out, Philadelphia could be down to RB Dameon Pierce atop the depth chart against Carolina. Pierce lands 25th in our current Week 6 RB rankings.

Eagles RB Will Shipley could miss "multiple weeks" after suffering a partial tear of his plantar fascia during Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Philadelphia is now dealing with injuries to its top 3 RBs. Saquon Barkley is working back from a hamstring injury and is uncertain for Week 6. Tank Bigsby is out at least 3 more games with his core injury. Shipley's absence left Dameon Pierce in an every-down role against Jacksonville. Carson Steele was active but didn't play a single offensive snap. Jaydon Blue remains on the Eagles' practice squad. We'll see if Barkley can make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers, but we could be looking at a heavy workload for Pierce.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is out for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Jaguars in London. He didn’t practice all week and could miss more time beyond Week 5. Barkley’s absence leaves Will Shipley as Philadelphia’s likely lead back. But RB Dameon Pierce might also be involved, and this week’s matchup is tough against Jacksonville’s seventh-ranked RB defense.

Update: The Eagles also elevated RB Carson Steele from the practice squad on Friday.
