Barkley playing despite limited practice and back injury from Week 7 compensation.

Barkley will play Sunday against Washington despite limited practice participation all week (DNP Wednesday-Thursday, limited Friday). He suffered a back injury on his first rushing attempt in Week 7 while compensating for a hamstring injury, then played sparingly through obvious discomfort. The source expresses concern that playing him is a short-sighted decision with more downside than upside, risking further injury that could impact both the remainder of this season and long-term value.
