Saquon Barkley has a chance at a revenge game on Thursday.
The Philadelphia Eagles will take on the New York Giants on the national broadcast of Thursday Night Football. It's another chance for the superstar running back to show his former team what they're missing.
That is, if Barkley can get onto the field. He's dealing with a knee injury.
On the estimated Monday injury report, Barkley was listed as a DNP.

On Tuesday, the news got better. Barkley was a limited participant in practice, a step in the right direction.
Being a limited denotation two days before the game gives Barkley a seemingly good chance to play against the Giants.
Barkley played in only one of the two Eagles games against the Giants in 2024.
That was in Week 7, and the Eagles won 28-3. Barkley ran 17 times for 176 yards and scored a touchdown.

He sat out the Week 18 game as the Eagles rested for the playoffs, with Philadelphia still winning, 20-13.
Barkley spent the first six seasons of his NFL career with the Giants, running for 5,211 yards and 35 touchdowns in 74 games for New York.
In his first season in Philly, Barkley ran for 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns.
So far this season, Barkley has just 267 yards and three scores in five games as he has had less running room.
He'll hope to find his groove against his old squad.
