If there’s one thing that’s clear about the Philadelphia Eagles‘ match against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, it’s that they’ll need all hands on deck to pull off a win against their historic rivals. This is the case after the team has been ravaged by the injury bug, with players from all departments on the team getting hit with it.

Whether it was Jalen Hurts, who could be in line to miss the remainder of the season due to multiple blood clots, DeVonta Smith, who has been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury that kept him off the practice field over the weekend, or even Nolan Smith, who will miss Monday night’s match due to a concussion. It’s safe to say that Philadelphia is going to be without several of their key players.
Even Saquon Barkley landed on the Eagles’ injury report throughout the week, mainly due to a hamstring injury that has been causing him some issues as of late. However, it’s looking like Philadelphia are in luck with their star running back.
Barkley off the inactive list vs. Dallas
As previously stated, Barkley was on the Eagles’ injury report during the week, was listed as a full participant on Saturday, and it appears that he could be a full participant on Monday night, as he wasn’t spotted on the Eagles’ inactive list.

This will be a huge boost for Sean Mannion and the Eagles’ offense as their run game has still proven to be an integral part of their offensive schemes. Match this with Barkley, who will look to be bouncing back off of what was a brief outing against the Los Angeles Rams in early October, and things could be big for the 29-year-old.
Kickoff between Philadelphia and Dallas is slated for 8:15 p.m. EST.
