Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks miss Wednesday's practice

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley missed practice Wednesday with his hamstring and back injuries.

The Philadelphia Eagles faced a challenging day on Wednesday as several key players missed practice due to various injuries. Running back Saquon Barkley was among the absentees, dealing with hamstring and back issues. Barkley had already practiced only once last week, getting limited work on Friday before playing 22 snaps on Sunday against the Commanders.

He had also played 10 snaps the week before against the Cowboys. Wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks continued to miss practice, both with hamstring and ankle injuries respectively. With both players on track to miss a third consecutive game, the Eagles will be without crucial offensive weapons. Linebacker Jihaad Campbell, defensive back Michael Carter, wide receiver Britain Covey, and cornerback Jonathan Jones also did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Additionally, kicker Jake Elliott, outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard, and outside linebacker Jalyx Hunt were limited in their participation. Linebacker Zack Baun, offensive tackle Markel Bell, defensive tackle Jordan Davis, offensive guard Landon Dickerson, tight end Dallas Goedert, quarterback Tanner McKee, defensive back Kenny Moore, and defensive tackle Moro Ojomo were full participants in practice.

Despite his injury, Barkley managed to play 22 snaps on Sunday night, having limited himself to just 10 snaps against the Cowboys the previous week. This situation may prompt the Eagles to adopt a similar strategy again this week.
