Saquon Barkley Likely Avoided a Serious Injury

Monday, September 21, 6:59 AM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (stinger) missed a portion of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Tennessee Titans. According to Ian Rapoport, the injury is not believed to be serious, but he will still undergo an MRI on Monday as a precaution. Barkley exited during the first half of the victory, and while he did return later on, the team limited his workload. He finished Week 2 with just 20 scrimmage yards on five total touches, ceding work to Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley. So far, it seems like Barkley merely suffered a stinger, which is an uncomfortable but non-serious injury that occurs when a player pinches a nerve. Stingers rarely require players to miss extended time, so if the MRI rules out any structural damage, we'd expect to see Barkley back in his every-down role next week against the Chicago Bears.

Caleb Williams Unlikely to Play Monday, Could Face 2-4 Week Recovery

Tuesday, September 22, 10:03 AM

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) exited Sunday's loss to the Vikings with a hamstring injury, and on Tuesday, NFL Insider Ian Rapoport noted that he is unlikely to play on Monday night against the Eagles, with his status more up in the air for a Week 4 matchup against the Jets. Rapoport pointed out that the recovery timeline for this type of injury generally falls in the 2-4 week range but expressed confidence that backup Tyler Bagent would play well in Williams' absence. Williams was the overall QB1 in Week 1, and while his pre-injury performance on Sunday was not at the same level, expectations remain high for the former first overall pick, and he should be plugged directly back into lineups upon his eventual return.
