Schefter: Barkley staying with Eagles despite 2-6 record and injuries.
Philadelphia Eagles running back will not be moved despite the team falling to 2-6 and suffering widespread offensive attrition; Barkley received assurances from Eagles brass after Sunday night's loss to the Washington Commanders that he would not be traded, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Barkley averaging 2.3 yards per carry while injured; source recommends rest to prevent major injury.
Barkley is clearly limited and nowhere near 100% due to hamstring and back injuries. He had 14 touches this week after having nine the week prior, with 13 carries for 30 yards and one catch for 24 yards, averaging just 2.3 yards per carry and 3.9 yards per touch. He's splitting snaps with Elijah Mitchell because he was limited due to the back injury. Barkley didn't practice all week and gave it a go on Friday to prepare for Sunday night. The source recommends the Eagles protect Barkley from himself at this rate, as this team isn't worth risking a major injury for; giving Barkley a week off would allow two weeks to heal with the bye week before bringing him back.

Barkley's hamstring and back injuries limited him to 30 yards; continued play risks prolonged absence.

The source credits him for trying to play through injury but notes he lacked the magic he displayed Monday night against Dallas. The source warns that if Barkley continues playing through injury, the Eagles may not see him healthy for an extended period.

Eagles keeping Barkley; not trading him before deadline despite 2-5 record.
The Eagles have decided not to trade Saquon Barkley prior to the Nov. 10 trade deadline despite being 2-5 and near the bottom of the NFC East with quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined by blood clots. The team views Barkley as part of a contention path in 2027 and will retain him through his contract, which carries two years and roughly $35 million remaining.

Eagles may regret holding Barkley at 30 if strong offers exist; market shows no standout deal.
The source suggests the Eagles may eventually regret not moving Saquon Barkley—who turns 30 in February—if they are passing on strong offers, though it's unclear whether such offers are actually on the table, especially while he is hampered by injury.

Barkley questionable with hamstring and new back injury; re-aggravation risk
Saquon Barkley is dealing with dual injuries heading into Week 8: a hamstring injury he continues to rehab and a new back injury suffered in limited snaps last week. While Barkley has expressed desire to play in some capacity Sunday night, the Eagles coaching staff should consider whether risking re-aggravation or worsening of either injury is prudent given the team's injury luck this season; cautious approach recommended.

Saquon Barkley cleared to play; matchup helps with thin Washington DL.
Saquon Barkley is cleared to play after returning for a limited Friday practice, and the source is starting him. The concern is that he played only nine snaps last week before leaving with a back injury after already dealing with his hamstring, and Nick Sirianni hasn't said whether he'll be limited. The matchup helps Barkley quite a bit; Washington ruled out Daron Payne and has Javon Kinlaw already out, leaving its interior defensive line thin.
