Eagles-Commanders Final Injury Report: Saquon Barkley WILL play

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is listed without a game status and will play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday night. Barkley returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday after missing sessions earlier in the week due to back and hamstring issues. However, writer Brandon Lee Gowton argues that playing Barkley is a short-sighted decision with significant downside, suggesting the team should protect him from further injury.

The Eagles ruled out five players for Week 8: DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Jihaad Campbell, Britain Covey, and Jonathan Jones. Cornerback Jakorian Bennett is listed as questionable. Meanwhile, the Commanders ruled out starting defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw, while listing Daron Payne, Jer'Zhan Newton, Treylon Burks, and John Bates as questionable.
