The Philadelphia Eagles caught a break on the injury front ahead of their Week 8 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Washington Commanders, with star running back Saquon Barkley receiving a positive update, according to Sporting News.
The news comes as welcome relief for an Eagles offense that has been battling injury concerns across multiple key positions this season, Sporting News reported.
Not every update was as reassuring, however. Yahoo Sports reported that wide receiver DeVonta Smith's injury status is more uncertain, part of what it described as a mixed bag of health news for Philadelphia's offensive stars as they prepare to face Washington.
The Eagles enter the primetime divisional matchup hoping their offense can shake off the injury-plagued stretch, with Barkley's improved outlook offering a bright spot for the team's game plan against the Commanders.
