Team news: Philadelphia Eagles

During the second half of Sunday’s win over the Raiders, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts seemed to suffer a leg injury when he was twisted awkwardly during a tackle. He doesn’t appear on the first injury report for Week 16, in advance of Saturday’s game against the Commanders.

The Eagles held a walk-through, not a full practice. The report for Tuesday is an estimate as to the participation, or lack thereof, if the team had conducted a normal practice.

Another key offensive player showed up on the report, with an injury that would have kept him from practice. Running back Saquon Barkley has a stinger.

We reported on Hurts on Monday having a possible knee issue, other reports said it was an ankle, but either way he's not in the injury report. Barkley is a bit of a surprise, however. Bigsby was listed as limited with an illness, and would likely see a nice workload should Barkley not be able to play. Shipley would also get some touches as well.

The Eagles offense was driving down the field and on 2nd-and-4, Jalen Hurts scrambled for a one-yard loss, and was slow to get up afterward. There was a (brief) moment of concern, before QB1 got back in the huddle and proceeded to throw the ball to A.J. Brown for a 27-yard touchdown. His day was over after the score, but not due to injury — the Eagles pulled most of their starters up 31-0.

In an interview with Pam Oliver after the game, Hurts admitted that he’d have to see what’s going on with his ankle, but surmised he’d be fine going forward. And, when asked about the injury in his press conference, Hurts mentioned moving past it quickly, “Just shook it off and came back and responded the next play.”

Hurts was seen hobbling a bit after the play, and as the story said, never returned to the game - but most of the starters didn't either. It's worth monitoring for owners who finally saw Hurts take off and run seven times in the win over the Raiders. The Eagles travel to the Commanders in Week 16 on Saturday, and while it seems Hurts should be good to go, perhaps the bigger concern is will the team limit his designed runs.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith and RB Saquon Barkley are both off the injury report after fully participating in practice and good to go Friday vs. the Bears.

Both players are in great spots for fantasy production for Week 13. Smith as a high-end WR2 and Barkley as an RB1.

Barkley seemed in good spirits following the injury and was seen on the sideline smiling with teammates and coaches. Rapoport said Barkley probably could have returned to the game but the Eagles had a big enough lead on the Giants to keep him out. The Eagles have a bye this coming week, so it's perfect timing for Barkley to get ready for Week 10. However, the Eagles Week 10 game is a Monday night contest. Barkley owners may want to grab Bigsby off the wire just in case. Shipley would likely get some touches as well should Barkley have to miss the game. Bigsby did go over 100 yards rushing in the game as well.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown, who is out Sunday with a hamstring injury, is expected back in Week 10 when the team returns from their bye.

Brown missed practice all week and will not play against the Giants. He’ll get an extra week of rest with the Eagles off in Week 9. He’ll also get an extra day of rest in Week 10 as the Eagles play on Monday night in Green Bay. There has been plenty of speculation surrounding a trade involving Brown, but Adam Schefter cooled off those rumors Saturday by saying the Eagles are not expected to trade Brown before the deadline on November 3. It’s been a slow start for Brown and the Eagles offense but they’re still sitting at 5-2 going into Sunday’s game against the Giants.

Smith and Goedert turn into very strong plays in this divisional matchup. Dotson sneaks into potential FLEX territory for desperate fantasy managers.

Still early enough that AJB could still see the field this week, but Smith and Goedert would be even stronger plays in a divisional matchup if he misses. Dotson works also sneak up to FLEX consideration.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (knee) returned to limited participation in the team’s walkthrough.

The Eagles estimated Barkley as a non-participant on Monday, and a report later clarified that it was “general soreness” that the All-Pro was experiencing.

Barkley is expected to be fine for Thursday Night Football.

Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley confirmed they held a players-only meeting, along with A.J. Brown, on Monday, but the quarterback and running back downplayed it as “just teammates being teammates.”

“Yeah, that’s just us talking about the collective, talking about taking ownership for what we can, talking about how we move forward as a team so we can continue to find ways to win games,” Hurts said, via video from Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.

Jimmy Kempski of The Philly Voice reported that Hurts, Brown and Barkley met among themselves for two hours to discuss offensive frustrations after the 21-17 loss to the Broncos.

Brown has only 19 catches for 194 yards and a touchdown, and Barkley got only six carries, which he took for 30 yards, against the Broncos. Barkley has 83 carries for 267 yards and three touchdowns for the season, the story pointed out. It also added, per Kempski, the talks were "positive." The Eagles travel to the Giants on Thursday night so we may quickly know how well - or not - things actually went.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley popped up on Monday’s practice report with a knee injury and was estimated as a non-participant.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Barkley has “general soreness” and expects to play in Thursday Night Football against the Giants.

Barkley was listed as a DNP for Monday ahead of Thursday night's game against his former team, the Giants. Ironically, Barkley's snap percentage has been down from last year. The story pointed out Barkley played 85% of the snaps through this point last year compared to 72% this season.
