Saquon Barkley injury update: Eagles star RB and DeVonta Smith ruled out for Week 5
Running back Saquon Barkley and receiver DeVonta Smith have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London, both sidelined by hamstring injuries that will deplete the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive weapons.
The offensive line faces significant turnover after tackle Lane Johnson's retirement on Wednesday and center Cam Jurgens' trade to the Baltimore Ravens, compounded by center Drew Kendall's knee injury ruling him out.
Defensively, edge Jonathan Greenard remains questionable with an ankle injury, while safety Marcus Epps and receiver Hollywood Brown are ruled out; Michael Carter II will start at safety in Epps' absence.
With Barkley out, will Shipley, Dameon Pierce, and Carson Steele will handle ground duties. Tight end Dallas Goedert returns from knee injury, as linebacker Zack Baun has cleared concussion protocol.
The Philadelphia Eagles land in London on Saturday for the matchup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, navigating dramatic roster turnover that has persisted through four games this season.
PHILADELFIA (AP) — Eagles Saquon Barkley runner and DeVonta Smith receiver were discarded for Sunday's match against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London due to injuries to the ischiotibials.
