Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is questionable to return after suffering a hamstring injury in the game against the Rams. His injury opens opportunities for teammates Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley, who may see increased carries. Kirk Hurts could also become more of a focal point in the running game, especially with receiver DeVonta Smith sidelined.
