Eagles RB Saquon Barkley Expected to Play Despite Knee Injury in Thursday's Giants Game

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was listed on the team's injury report with a knee injury after their recent loss to the Denver Broncos. Despite missing Monday's practice due to general soreness, Barkley fully expects to play in the upcoming Thursday night game against the New York Giants. His reduced workload in the Week 5 game, including only six rushing attempts, has raised concerns about his health and possibly influenced the Eagles' offensive strategy. Barkley, who had an outstanding previous season leading the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory, remains a key player whose status is closely monitored. The Eagles' offense is adjusting amid some internal drama involving wide receivers, but Barkley's availability is seen as crucial to maintaining their running game identity. Updates on Barkley's condition will continue as the team approaches the Thursday matchup.
