Overview

  • Barkley left on the opening offensive snap after taking a hit to his upper body and was officially diagnosed with a stinger by the Eagles.
  • The running back went to the medical tent and locker room and then returned to the sideline with a neck roll before re-entering the game for limited snaps in the third quarter.
  • Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley absorbed the bulk of rushing work while Barkley was out, with Bigsby scoring a touchdown and finishing as the primary ball carrier.
  • Barkley told reporters he will get an MRI to clarify the extent of the nerve injury and said he will know more in the coming days about his availability.
  • Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert also left early with a knee injury and was listed questionable to return, adding short-term lineup uncertainty for Philadelphia.
