Barkley (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cowboys.
Barkley followed up limited sessions Thursday and Friday with a full practice Saturday, but his status remains up in the air for Week 7 action. He's seeking his first game action since Week 4 as he tends to a lingering hamstring injury, something that'll be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Practicing Saturday
Rotowire
Barkley (hamstring) was on the field for the start of Saturday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Barkley was a limited participant in each of the first two practices of Week 7 prep as the star running back works his way back from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for each of the Eagles' last two games. Saturday's practice report will shed light on Barkley's status ahead of Monday's game against the Cowboys, and a full session would likely be enough for him to avoid an injury designation. His return would result in Dameon Pierce reverting to a rotational role in the backfield.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Limited at Friday's practice
Rotowire
Barkley (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Friday.
Barkley now has logged back-to-back capped practices this week, giving him one more chance to get back to full Saturday, at which point the Eagles may make a ruling on his status for Monday's game against the Cowboys. He's missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Practices again Friday
Rotowire
Barkley (hamstring) is practicing Friday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
After practicing in a limited capacity Thursday, Barkley was on the field again Friday as he continues to work back from the hamstring injury that cost him the past two games. His presence at another session keeps him on track for a possible return Monday night against Dallas. Dameon Pierce would then become mostly irrelevant for fantasy football.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Limited Thursday
Rotowire
Barkley (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
This marks Barkley's first official on-field work since he initially suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4 against the Rams. He consequently sat out Weeks 5 and 6, but his return to drills this week at least gives him a chance to suit up Monday versus the Cowboys. Barkley told Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer on Thursday that he wants to play in Week 7 but still needs to test out his hamstring over the next few days. Ultimately, Saturday's practice report will reveal Barkley's odds to return to action.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Present for practice Thursday
Rotowire
Barkley (hamstring) was in uniform for Thursday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
The Eagles signaled that Barkley was approaching a return to action by moving on from Carson Steele (shoulder, IR) and Jaydon Blue earlier this week. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network then reported Thursday morning that Barkley was expected to practice Thursday with the aim to play Monday against the Cowboys. While Barkley's activity level as he mixes back into drills isn't known yet, he appears to be trending in the right direction for Week 7 action.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: On track for MNF
Rotowire
Barkley (hamstring) is expected to practice Thursday and "is in line to play Monday against the Cowboys," Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Barkley has not practiced at all since injuring his hamstring in Week 4, but it appears he will be back out there Thursday. His return would be a welcome boost for an Eagles team that currently only has two other running backs available -- Dameon Pierce and Elijah Mitchell, who joined the practice squad earlier this week.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Misses practice again Friday
Rotowire
Barkley (hamstring) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Barkley hasn't practiced the past two weeks and now appears likely to miss a second game. The Eagles will be short-handed, to say the least, with QB Jalen Hurts (blood clot) now joining the long list of starters to miss time this season. If Barkley is indeed inactive, Dameon Pierce will be the favorite to start at running back for Philadelphia.
Barkley (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report.
Barkley's lack of activity so far this week isn't a surprise considering he hasn't been present for either of the Eagles' two practices. He thus has one more opportunity to attempt to mix into drills Friday, at which point the team may make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers. If Barkley and fellow RB Will Shipley (foot) are sidelined this weekend, Dameon Pierce is the top candidate to pace Philadelphia's backfield, with Carson Steele also on hand for reps that linger.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Not in attendance Thursday
Rotowire
Barkley (hamstring) wasn't present for the open portion of Thursday's practice, Martin Frank of The News Journal reports.
As of Wednesday, Barkley has been listed as a non-participant on four consecutive injury reports due to a right hamstring issue, and he seems poised to make it five such listings once the Eagles post their second Week 6 report. With Will Shipley (foot) likely out for multiple weeks, Dameon Pierce seems set for a large workload out of the backfield Sunday against the Panthers, assuming Barkley doesn't put himself in a position to play.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Sidelined at Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Barkley (hamstring) officially didn't practice Wednesday.
Barkley has yet to mix into drills since suffering a right hamstring injury in the early stages of the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Rams. Head coach Nick Sirianni expressed hope Monday that Barkley will return to action Sunday against the Panthers, suggesting it's possible he gets back on the practice field by Friday. Until that happens, though, Barkley likely is trending toward another absence in Week 6, which would leave Philadelphia's backfield in the hands of Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele with Will Shipley (foot) set for a multi-week stay on the sideline.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Not seen Wednesday
Rotowire
Barkley (hamstring) wasn't spotted at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Barkley was inactive for this past Sunday's loss to the Jaguars in London due to a hamstring injury suffered one week prior, but head coach Nick Sirianni told Zach Berman of The Athletic on Monday that he's "hopeful" the running back will gain clearance to play in Week 6 against the Panthers. Assuming Barkley goes down as a DNP on Wednesday, he's not beginning the week on the right foot, but he'll still have two more chances to mix into drills Thursday and Friday.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Could return for Week 6
Rotowire
Head coach Nick Sirianni said Monday that he's "hopeful" that both Barkley (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) will both be cleared to play against the Panthers on Sunday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Barkley was sidelined for Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars in London due to a right hamstring injury that he sustained during the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Rams. Wednesday will be the first Eagles practice of Week 6 prep, and even a limited session would have Barkley trending toward a return against Carolina. Will Shipley was diagnosed with a partial tear of his plantar fascia following Sunday's game, and with Barkley and Tank Bigsby (abdomen, IR) both sidelined, that currently leaves Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele as the two healthy running backs on the Eagles' 53-man roster.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Ruled out for Week 5
Rotowire
Barkley (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Jacksonville.
Barkley didn't practice this week in the wake of suffering a right hamstring injury this past Sunday against the Rams, so his lack of availability for Week 5 doesn't come as a surprise. With Tank Bigsby (abdomen) on injured reserve, it'll be the Will Shipley show out of the Eagles backfield Sunday, while Dameon Pierce also is on hand for RB reps that linger, and Jaydon Blue and Carson Steele are options to be elevated from the practice squad. Barkley's next chance for game action is Sunday, Oct. 18 versus the Panthers.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Another DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
Barkley (hamstring) officially didn't practice Thursday.
Barkley has yet to log any on-field work since tweaking his right hamstring on his fourth offensive snap this past Sunday against the Rams. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Barkley is considered week-to-week, and the Eagles can make a ruling on the running back's status for a Week 5 road matchup with the Jaguars on Friday's injury report. Will Shipley is poised for a workhorse role out of Philadelphia's backfield this weekend assuming Barkley indeed is ruled out.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Absent from practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Barkley (hamstring) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
With Barkley already considered week-to-week coming out of Sunday's loss to the Rams, his absence from Wednesday's session is no surprise. Barkley should be considered closer to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London. Will Shipley and Dameon Pierce are currently in line to handle backfield duties after Tank Bigsby (abdomen) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Status uncertain with injured hamstring
Rotowire
Coach Nick Sirianni said, "We'll see," Monday afternoon when asked about Barkley's new hamstring injury, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports. "We'll have more answers Wednesday for you probably with that stuff," Sirianni added.
Barkley injured his hamstring in the opening minutes of Sunday's eventual loss to the Rams and wasn't able to return to action. Tank Bigsby was the biggest beneficiary of Barkley's absence, but he exited late with a lower-body issue that will require core muscle surgery and a stint on IR, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. With Barkley's status uncertain, the Eagles currently host one healthy running back (Will Shipley) on the active roster, while Jaydon Blue, Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele are options to be bumped up from the practice squad.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Injures hamstring in Week 4
Rotowire
Barkley suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game against the Rams, Olivia Reiner of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Barkley walked slowly to the sideline after a six-yard run in the first quarter and visited the medical tent before making his way to the locker room. During Barkley's absence, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley are the candidates for reps out of the Eagles backfield.

Eagles' Saquon Barkley: Solid numbers in double-digit loss
Rotowire
Barkley rushed 15 times for 82 yards and secured one of two targets for minus-2 yards in the Eagles' 27-7 loss to the Bears on Monday night.
Barkley was a rare bright spot for an otherwise moribund Eagles offense, showing no ill effects from the stinger that cost him substantial time in a Week 2 win over the Titans. The star running back got his night started on the right foot with a 12-yard run on Philadelphia's opening possession and a nine-yarder on the second drive that was wiped out by a holding penalty. Barkley would go on to add another four rushes of seven or more yards, including a game-long 17-yard scamper. Barkley has yet to top 15 carries in any of the first three games of the season, but he's been highly efficient while averaging 5.1 yards per carry and posting four runs of 10-plus yards overall. Barkley and the Eagles have a tall order on their Week 4 ledger, however, as the Rams come to town on Sunday.
