Saquon Barkley remains limited ahead of Eagles-Cowboys game
Saquon Barkley was limited in Friday’s practice as the Philadelphia Eagles prepare to host the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night.
The running back has missed the Eagles’ last two games with a hamstring injury and is hoping to return against Dallas.
His availability matters because Philadelphia has also placed running backs Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley on injured reserve.
Without Barkley, the Eagles’ rushing attack has struggled, and the team ranks 29th in the NFL in rushing yards per game.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts is also out for the season after the Eagles placed him on injured reserve, with Tanner McKee expected to start.
Philadelphia and Dallas are both 2-4, so the divisional matchup could affect their season momentum.
