Eagles' Saquon Barkley exits with groin injury after 150-yard game vs Giants

Saquon Barkley delivered a standout performance for the Philadelphia Eagles against the New York Giants, rushing for a season-high 150 yards and scoring a 65-yard touchdown on his first carry. However, Barkley suffered a groin injury late in the third quarter after a 28-yard run and did not return to the game, leaving the Eagles to rely on backup running back Tank Bigsby. Despite the injury, Barkley remained optimistic about his recovery, indicating he has dealt with similar issues before and expects to participate in the team's next game against the Green Bay Packers following their bye week. Jalen Hurts contributed significantly with four touchdown passes, helping the Eagles secure a 38-20 victory and maintain momentum toward a repeat championship run. The Eagles' running game, bolstered by Barkley's performance and Bigsby's promising backup role, demonstrated strong depth and versatility. The injury introduces some uncertainty but the team's bye week offers crucial time for Barkley's healing and preparation.
