The incident occurred during a six-yard carry to the left side of the field. Following the play, Barkley was observed pulling up as he moved out of bounds. He was seen limping noticeably while returning to the Eagles' sideline before being escorted to the medical tent for an initial evaluation. Shortly thereafter, he headed to the locker room accompanied by team trainers.
Impact on Eagles backfield rotation
With Barkley sidelined, the Philadelphia coaching staff has turned to Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley to manage the rushing workload for the remainder of the game. The loss of the 29-year-old running back creates a significant void in the team's offensive rotation, given his role as a primary ball carrier.
Entering this matchup, Barkley had recorded 174 yards on 34 carries throughout the season. This injury marks his second physical setback in recent weeks, as he was previously sidelined for a portion of the Eagles' Week 2 encounter against the Tennessee Titans due to a stinger. The team has not provided further updates regarding the severity of his current hamstring issue or his status beyond Sunday's game.
