Saquon Barkley Absent from Monday’s Injury Report Participation List
Philadelphia Concerns Rise as Saquon Barkley Faces Injury Ahead of Short Week
Key Injuries Impact Philadelphia Eagles’ Offensive Strategy
The Philadelphia Eagles are facing a critical short week with a significant injury concern surrounding one of their key players. Running back Saquon Barkley has been listed as a non-participant in Monday’s estimated injury report due to a knee injury.
Barkley, who was on the field for 72 percent of the Eagles’ offensive snaps in Sunday’s game against the Broncos, managed six carries for 30 yards and caught three passes for 58 yards. Notably, there was no injury indication during the game. His snap percentage was below his earlier season average of 85 percent.
Comparing Barkley’s 2024 and 2025 Performance
Saquon Barkley’s performance statistics in the first five weeks of this season are noticeably down compared to the previous year. So far, he has rushed for 267 yards and achieved three touchdowns, averaging only 3.2 yards per carry. In addition, he has caught 17 passes for 128 yards, securing one touchdown.
Additional Injury Concerns Within the Team
The Eagles’ injury woes extend beyond Barkley. Offensive lineman Landon Dickerson is dealing with an ankle injury, while tight end Grant Calcaterra is struggling with an oblique issue. Both players were predicted to be non-participants in Monday’s practice.
Further injuries in the team include:
- Linebacker Jihaad Campbell, who is managing a biceps injury, was estimated to be limited.
- Defensive tackle Byron Young, experiencing a triceps problem, was also expected to be limited.
- Linebacker Nakobe Dean, just returning from the physically unable to perform list, was projected to be a full participant.
Strategic Adjustments for Upcoming Games
As the Eagles prepare for their upcoming matchups, strategizing around these injuries will be essential. Maintaining a strong offensive and defensive lineup remains paramount if they are to overcome current challenges and push forward in the season.
