Barkley on track for Giants game as Smith and Wicks remain sidelined
Joe Milton is preparing for his first Eagles start, with Tanner McKee questionable because of a rib injury.
Philadelphia running back Saquon Barkley is expected to be available against the Giants, his former team, despite hamstring and back injuries. The Eagles enter the matchup without receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, who will each miss a third consecutive game.
Barkley has no injury designation for the matchup, although his practice participation remained limited. The hamstring problem previously sidelined him for a couple of games, and he has played 32 offensive snaps over the past two weeks.
Joe Milton will make his first start for Philadelphia after replacing Tanner McKee, who was benched. McKee is listed as questionable because of a rib injury, while Cole Payton also holds a quarterback spot on the 53-man roster. Smith has a hamstring injury; Wicks has an ankle injury.
Philadelphia also ruled out linebacker Jihaad Campbell because of hamstring and quad injuries, along with defensive back Michael Carter because of an abdomen injury. Receiver Britain Covey is out with a knee injury, and cornerback Jonathan Jones is out with a hamstring injury.
