Eagles Week 8 Injury Report

PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles (2-5) will look to end their five-game skid Sunday night in Landover, Md., when they face another NFC East foe in the Washington Commanders (1-4-1). Coming off a deflating home loss to the Dallas Cowboys in primetime, they’ll have another opportunity to put their best forward in front of a national audience.

Of course, they’ll likely do so considerably short-handed in key area, namely on the offensive side of the ball. The injuries to watch this week include RB Saquon Barkley and WRs DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks.

Below you’ll find our weekly injury report tracker, which begins with Wednesday’s walkthrough.

GETTY IMAGES: Will Saquon Barkley be able to go against the Commanders on Sunday night?

The Eagles on Wednesday held a walkthrough, and this report is an estimation. Had they practiced, key offensive standouts Barkley, Smith and Wicks wouldn’t have practiced. With Smith, who has battled through his hamstring injury for months now, perhaps the best course of action would be letting it rest another week. Thursday, the team’s most intense practice of the week, will be a big indicator with how things are trending. The same can be said for Barkley, who in addition to the hamstring picked up a back injury Monday night. While it’s too early to say, Barkley seemed optimistic of his chances of playing when speaking Monday night at his locker.

The notable estimated full participants include Dickerson, Kendall and Goedert, all of whom returned from injury to play in Week 7. This means all three exited Monday’s game healthy. The running game looked noticeably improved with the insertion of Dickerson and Kendall at left guard and center, respectively.
