Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and wide receiver DeVonta Smith both missed practice Wednesday with hamstring injuries ahead of their Week 5 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Barkley is considered week-to-week, while Smith remains sidelined after missing last week. Their absences compound depth issues alongside injuries to Dallas Goedert, Zack Baun, Quinyon Mitchell, and the recent retirement of right tackle Lane Johnson.
