Saquon Barkley Nears Return From Hamstring Injury For Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has missed the past two games nursing a hamstring injury but is working toward an immediate heavy workload upon clearance. The Eagles desperately need his services on the ground, especially with quarterback Jalen Hurts out for the rest of the season. In Barkley's absence, Dameon Pierce handled backfield duties against Carolina behind backup quarterback Tanner McKee, as Barkley trends toward an RB2 status upon his return.
