The Story in 60 Seconds

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley stated his hamstring held up well and does not believe an in-game back injury will sideline him following a 38-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Barkley played nine snaps, touching the ball on every play to record seven carries for 62 yards, one touchdown, and two receptions for 9 yards.

Barkley tweaked his back during a 29-yard run in the first quarter, which limited his action before his final snap in the third quarter. Philadelphia continues to face significant depth issues at running back, with Will Shipley, Tank Bigsby, and Carson Steele on injured reserve, alongside Dameon Pierce leaving late due to injury.
