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.

The Eagles ruled out WR A.J. Brown with a hamstring injury.

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

For a second straight day, Eagles WR A.J. Brown is not practicing due to a hamstring injury.

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.

This will be one to watch on a short week against the Giants. Barkley hasn't been much of a factor in the run game this season after going over 2,000 yards last year. He did catch a TD pass in Week 5's loss to the Broncos. We'll keep an eye on this one. If Barkley can't go on a short week, Dillon and Shipley will likely split the workload and Bigsby could be a factor as well.

Eagles DT Jalen Carter (shoulder) and TE Dallas Goedert (knee) are off the injury report and good to go Sunday vs. the Rams.

Calcaterra managed two targets and six yards in Goedert's steed, as the Eagles continue to squeeze the clock and limit Jalen Hurts' dropbacks. Goedert returns to his low-floor/moderate-ceiling TE2 designation.

Asked Eagles OC Kevin Patullo about the lack of designed QB runs and zone read keeps for Jalen Hurts. Said just haven’t gotten to or because of how they’re being defended.

“Don’t worry, they’re coming.”

Last season the Eagles offense took about four weeks to really get going, especially the passing game. So, it's possible the team hasn't shown all its cards yet on that side of the ball. Hurts threw for just over 100 yards, but he also just ran for 15 yards in Week 2 after running for 62 yards in Week 1.
