From the article

Barkley admitted before the game that he would have to see how he feels early on, and explained that he wanted to be smart about his return. The RB was tested quickly, during his second carry, when a Cowboys defender missed the tackle, but was able to pull Barkley's leg during the attempted takedown. He was noticeably hesitant following the play, limping a little... the broadcast captured his grimace up close as he unclipped his chinstrap, and the RB was clearly playing through some discomfort... the Eagles listed Barkley as questionable to return with a back injury, essentially ending his game with 62 rushing yards.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Barkley showed discomfort on return from hamstring injury; listed questionable with back injury.

Barkley returned from a multi-game hamstring injury absence for Monday night against the Cowboys but showed clear signs of ongoing discomfort; he was tested on his second carry when a defender pulled his leg, after which he was noticeably hesitant and limping. He grimaced visibly when unclipping his chinstrap after a 12-yard run in the third quarter and was listed as questionable to return with a back injury early in the fourth quarter, ending his game with 62 rushing yards on 10 snaps through three quarters. The source notes concern about potential re-aggravation of the hamstring during his limited time on the field.
