        Saquon Barkley Apparently in Better Shape Than He Looked Monday Night

        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.

        Saquon Barkley Not a Lock for Monday

        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.

        Saquon Barkley Hurts Right Leg on Second Carry

        Eagles RB Saquon Barkley pulled up with an apparent right leg injury on his second carry against the Rams. Barkley sustained a non-contact injury, pulling up as he reached the sideline. He hopped around keeping weight off the leg and then seemed to be trying to work out the hamstring before leaving with trainers. Barkley was, at least, walking down the sideline under his own power. We'll watch for updates on this situation.

        Update: Barkley is questionable to return with a hamstring injury.

        Update: Barkley has been ruled out.
