Saquon Barkley News
Wednesday, October 7, 2:31 PM
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) was not seen at practice on Wednesday after suffering a hamstring injury in the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, according to Brooks Kubena of The Athletic. The Eagles are labeling Barkley as week-to-week after his injury on Sunday, and with backup Tank Bigsby (abdomen) going on Injured Reserve, Will Shipley is in line for a significant backfield workload for Philly on Sunday in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars if Barkley is officially ruled out on Friday. Fantasy managers should not plan on having Barkley available to them this weekend after what has been a disappointing first four games in 2026 so far. The Pro Bowl RB has yet to find the end zone and has carried the ball 36 times for 182 yards (5.1 yards per carry) while adding four catches for only eight yards. Barkley's efficiency has been strong, but he also missed time in a game with a stinger and now looks likely to miss at least one game for the Eagles. The team also added Dameon Pierce for backfield depth, and he could have a decent role right away this weekend if Barkley cannot go.

Tony Pollard News
Wednesday, October 7, 6:28 PM
Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (foot) did not practice Wednesday due to a foot issue, according to the team's official injury report. Of note, Pollard also did not practice last week on Wednesday ahead of Week 4 before logging full practice sessions on Thursday and Friday. Ultimately, he was active and played 34 offensive snaps in a 24-18 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Pollard rushed 16 times for 48 yards (3.0 yards per carry) and scored a touchdown against the Ravens, while also adding two receptions for two yards. He is Tennessee's leading rusher with 54 carries for 221 yards and a touchdown. Pollard has also recorded eight receptions for 24 yards. While his status for the rest of the week is worth monitoring moving forward, his absence on Wednesday was most likely precautionary.
