The Philadelphia Eagles open training camp with a renewed focus on their running game. Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby are expected to be central to the offense as Jalen Hurts adapts to new schemes under Sean Mannion. Early practice observations indicate improvements in both the running backs' performance and offensive line dynamics. Last season saw a significant decline in rushing production, but the team's adjustments aim to revitalize the running game this season. With renewed optimism, both Barkley and Bigsby could potentially each surpass 1,000 rushing yards in 2026.
