Eagles Plan to Manage Saquon Barkley's Workload
News summary

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni addressed the media ahead of the team's Week 2 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, discussing the challenges of the team's unusual 2024 schedule and the management of newly acquired linebacker Devin White, who will not be starting despite his past accolades. Running back Saquon Barkley had a standout performance in the season opener against the Green Bay Packers, racking up 109 rushing yards and two touchdowns, and Sirianni acknowledged the need to manage Barkley's workload moving forward to maintain his health. The Eagles improved to 1-0 under Sirianni, who remains undefeated in season openers, and the team scored highly compared to league averages despite some sloppy play. Sirianni emphasized that winning every game is paramount, and they will adapt their strategy based on game flow, particularly regarding Barkley's usage. The coaching staff plans to adjust Barkley's practice load this week to ensure he stays fresh for the season's later stages. Overall, the Eagles are focused on balancing immediate performance with long-term player health as they move deeper into the season.
