The Philadelphia Eagles have received a positive update regarding Saquon Barkley’s status ahead of their upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. After dealing with a hamstring injury earlier in the week, Barkley was listed as a full participant in practice on Saturday and is not on the inactive list for the game.
His availability comes at a critical time for the Eagles, who have been significantly impacted by injuries to key players. Quarterback Jalen Hurts could potentially miss the rest of the season due to blood clots, while wide receiver DeVonta Smith has been hampered by a hamstring issue that kept him out of practice over the weekend. Additionally, linebacker Nolan Smith will be sidelined for the matchup against the Cowboys due to a concussion.
Barkley’s Return to the Field
Barkley’s return is expected to provide a substantial boost to the Eagles’ offense, which has leaned on a robust run game. Coach Sean Mannion will be counting on the 29-year-old running back to help facilitate offensive plays, especially after his limited performance against the Los Angeles Rams in early October.
Kickoff for the pivotal NFC East clash between the Eagles and Cowboys is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. EST.
