Saquon Barkley is questionable to return to the Eagles' Week 2 game against the Titans after suffering a stinger on Philadelphia's first offensive snap. The star running back jogged to the locker room but was clearly in discomfort. Here's a look at the injury:

Tank Bigsby took over as the top running back following Barkley's departure. The Eagles drove down the field before Jalen Hurts threw an interception, and Tennessee capitalized with a touchdown a few plays later. Bigsby scored a touchdown on the ensuing drive. Will Shipley is also seeing some action in the backfield.
Barkley, 29, had 15 carries for 83 yards in the Eagles' Week 1 win over the Commanders, though 42 of those yards came on one run. The three-time Pro Bowler is coming off another stellar season with 1,413 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns. It was a far cry from his 2024 season, when he led the NFL with 2,283 yards from scrimmage (on an NFL-high 378 touches), but he remains the engine of Philadelphia's offense.
It's worth noting that the Eagles shuffled their offensive line this week with left guard Landon Dickerson going on IR. Philadelphia moved Cam Jurgens from center to left guard and inserted Drew Kendall at center; Barkley's injury happened while running behind those two players.
