Saquon Barkley Health, Injury Updates & History

Barkley exited during the first quarter against the Rams with a lower-body injury after a six-yard r...

Barkley progressed to full participation Friday after opening the week limited by the stinger suffered against the Titans, an MRI on his left shoulder showed no additional damage and the Eagles running back said he is feeling good, clearing the way for him to play Monday night against the Bears while wearing protective equipment around his neck and shoulder area

Barkley briefly exited after suffering a stinger and went to the locker room for further evaluation, the Eagles running back was ultimately cleared to return to the game, an encouraging sign that the issue was not significant enough to end his afternoon

Has been a full participant in practice this week after tweaking his groin at the end of the Week 8 matchup, the team then had a bye for Week 9, so he is a full go for Monday Night Football

Exited game with a groin injury, will not return due to game score rather than severity, he will be monitored for more official information

Was a full participant in Wednesday's practice ahead of Thursday Night Football for Week 6 vs the Giants, he was listed on the injury report with a knee injury though it was general soreness

He dealt with back tightness in early November, otherwise had a fully healthy season rushing for 2005 yards in 16 games while resting in Week 18 and scoring 13 TDs, we see no issues for Barkley to start the season, however with extremely high usage last year at 345 carries we expect a regression in production and a higher likelihood of injury this season

There could be concern for Saquon Barkley ahead of the Super Bowl, clearly he had a great NFC Championship, 2 touchdowns on 2 carries the big long run right off the bat, but afterwards he was seen with the massage gun on his calf, distal calf proximal Achilles, we don't have worry for Achilles tendon rupture but the calf is an issue that may indeed linger, he was on the sidelines on the exercise bike, Kenneth Gainwell received some carries the rest of the game and a mixture of running backs, the blowout score helped give Barkley some rest, the 2 weeks before the Super Bowl will have Saquon Barkley near 100%

Will rest for W18 per head coach Nick Sirianni

Listed on the team's injury report with a back injury, we have no expectation of any issues going forward into W10 for Barkley against the Cowboys
