Saquon Barkley injury: Eagles running back returns to Titans game
The Eagles RB was sidelined during the first offensive drive on Week 2.
On September 20, 2026, Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley suffered a stinger injury early in the game against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. The occurrence happened on the very first play of the Eagles' first offensive drive. Barkley was immediately taken to the medical tent, where he spent some time before returning to the locker room and being listed as questionable to return. He did manage to play through the third quarter, but had to leave the game in the fourth quarter.
Barkley expressed his positive outlook, stating that he would undergo an MRI to assess his injury. He was able to wear a backpack on his left shoulder, indicating that his condition was not as severe as initially feared. However, the Eagles also reported that he only played for one carry in the game, recording zero yards. Barkley's performance was generally uneven in Week 1, and he had been looking forward to contributing more positively in his second game of the season.
His performance was compounded by several changes made to the offensive line prior to the game, including the movement of Cam Jurgens to left guard to replace Landon Dickerson, who was on injured reserve, and Drew Kendall taking over as center.
