Saquon Barkley injury update spoils huge day for Eagles RB with bad news

The Philadelphia Eagles were having a great Sunday. So was Saquon Barkley.

That is, until he was injured.

Late in the third quarter, Barkley broke a big run down the right sideline.

At the end of it, he pulled up lame.

It had the visual look of a hamstring injury, and Barkley went to the blue medical tent for evaluation.

Barkley had already run for 150 yards on the day.

He had a 65-yard rushing TD on the second play of the game against his former team.

He also had a 9-yard receiving touchdown from Jalen Hurts.

The Eagles have mixed up their RB depth chart on Sunday to use Tank Bigsby as Barkley's direct backup.

Previously, it had been mostly A.J. Dillon getting the carries behind Barkley.

This week, though, it's the former Jags RB Bigsby getting the action.

Soon after Barkley ended, Bigsby ran for a first down on second-and-31, so he might be just fine.

It's less certain what might happen with Barkley.

The Eagles were up 24-13 when he left, and they might not need him this week.

But Philly will need Barkley back at some point to defend their Super Bowl title.
