The Philadelphia Eagles will be without star running back Saquon Barkley for their Week 6 game against the Carolina Panthers. Multiple outlets report Barkley is ruled out with a hamstring injury, and he does not participate in Wednesday practice.
Alongside Barkley’s absence, ESPN and Yahoo Sports report that wide receiver DeVonta Smith is expected to return and is listed as good to go for Sunday. Some reports also note Smith was previously limited or missed time due to a hamstring issue, including misses from last week’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
Other coverage frames the situation within a broader injury picture for Philadelphia, citing an expanded Eagles injury report that lists 24 players, including Barkley and Smith among those tracked. While outlets vary in how they describe Smith’s practice participation and how they characterize the team’s overall health heading into the Panthers game, they agree on the main availability updates for Barkley and Smith.
