Eagles Running Back Saquon Barkley Leaves Game Against Rams with Apparent Hamstring Injury
Saquon Barkley was replaced by Tank Bigsby after a lengthy evaluation, and the Eagles called him questionable to return.
- On Sunday, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley left the game against the Los Angeles Rams in the first quarter with an apparent hamstring injury and was officially designated questionable to return.
- The Eagles entered the matchup already dealing with significant personnel losses, including All-Pro offensive tackle Lane Johnson ruled out for personal reasons and wide receiver DeVonta Smith sidelined with a hamstring injury.
- Barkley sustained the injury during a 6-yard run in the first quarter, visibly struggling as he hobbled toward the sideline. He walked to the locker room after evaluation in the medical tent.
