The Philadelphia Eagles currently hold a commanding 38-13 lead over the New York Giants late in the fourth quarter. However, the game took a concerning turn as Eagles running back Saquon Barkley appeared to suffer an injury scare during the contest.
According to Tim McManus of ESPN, the 28-year-old running back limped off the field and headed to the blue medical tent following one of his long runs against the Giants. McManus reported, “Saquon Barkley to the medical tent. He started limping after that long run down the right side.”
Fortunately, Barkley was able to return from the medical tent in time to witness teammate Tank Bigsby’s impressive 29-yard run. He was seen jumping up and down in celebration and was standing with the substitutes, helmet in hand.
Despite Barkley’s visible enthusiasm, the Eagles have ruled him questionable to return due to a groin injury, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Given the substantial lead late in the game, it seems unlikely that Barkley will take the field again in this contest.
As Pelissero reported, “Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is questionable to return with a groin injury.” Fans will be hoping for a swift recovery for the talented running back as the season progresses.
