  "account": "Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley returned to action for Monday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys after sitting out the past two contests with a hamstring injury. However, his return was limited after an initial issue in the first quarter caused his back to lock up, resulting in limited playtime during the 38-21 loss at Lincoln Financial Field. When questioned about his new back problem, Barkley downplayed it, stating that his hamstring felt fine during the game. He made the best of his limited opportunities, accumulating seven carries for a team-leading 62 yards and a touchdown, as well as two receptions for nine yards. Barkley expressed his determination to push his body's limits, despite the ongoing issues, and acknowledged the difficulty of being unable to fully contribute to his team. The Eagles will face their division rival, the Washington Commanders, in a primetime Week 8 matchup next Sunday.",
