Barkley said his knee injury is"nothing too worried about," and will suit up against his former team on Thursday night. Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is dealing with "general soreness" in his knee but will play on Thursday at MetLife Stadium.
The Eagles, of course, didn’t practice a day after their 21-17 loss to the Denver Broncos, but were required to release an estimated report ahead of Thursday night’s game at the New York Giants. Barkley was upgraded to a limited participant Tuesday during a walk-through.“I know a lot of people started reacting because it said I wouldn’t practice,” Barkley said. “None of us practiced yesterday. … Nothing too worried about, just general soreness."Barkley will play Thursday night at MetLife Stadium against his former team, and the emotions attached to revisiting his former home stadium have dwindled. “I said last year I didn’t know what to expect,” Barkley said. “Being in that environment, seeing everyone back there. It’s a year removed from it now. It is what it is. I’m just focused on trying to get back on track and getting a big win in the NFC East.” Barkley said his knee soreness was not a reason why he was handed the ball six times during Sunday’s game and touched it just nine times total, the fewest amount in his career in a game he started and finished. The Eagles’ run game continues to struggle. Barkley is tallying 3.2 yards per carry, down from 5.8 in 2024. He has yet to top 100 yards in a single game. A combination of poor offensive line play at times and defenses scheming against the Eagles have contributed to the slow start. Barkley said his knee was not a factor., who left Sunday’s game with an ankle injury and may miss more than just Thursday night’s game. Dickerson was once again listed as out Tuesday, as was tight end Grant Calcaterra .
