Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is off to a quiet start in the Week 5 game against the Denver Broncos.
One of the elite running backs in the NFL and a crucial piece of the Eagles' offense, it's rare to see Barkley get off to slow starts.
But that's exactly what's happening early on in Week 5 against the Broncos. Here's a look at what's going on.
Is Saquon Barkley playing today?
UPDATE: All is right with the world.
As of this writing, Barkley has two carries for 20 yards and one catch for four yards.
END OF UPDATE
Yes, Barkley is playing, he just didn't get a touch on the opening series.
The Eagles went pass-heavy on the opening series and didn't move the sticks, so Barkley didn't have a chance to get the ball.
That should change soon.
