Saquon Barkley was having an incredible game against his former team, the New York Giants, which included breaking a 65-yard touchdown on the Philadelphia Eagles first possession. But, after breaking off a 28-yard run in the second half, Barkley went to the medical tent with an injury.
The 2024 NFL rushing leader grimaced and limped after getting to the sideline after the run, and he went to the medical tent. Barkley came out of the tent with his helmet in hand, and it's yet to be determined wgether he will return.
Here are the latest updates on Barkley's status.

After the game, Barkley spoke to Fox's Erin Andrews, saying he wants to heal up during the Eagles bye week.
"I knew the same player I was last year is still here. I just continue to stick to my routine, continue to fall in love with the process and at some point we knew it was going to crack and now we gotta build on that."@ErinAndrews caught up with @saquon after the @Eagles win ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/4cojARsMKn

Barkley told reporters that he is not concerned with his groin injury. Though he didn't directly say it to reporters, it's fair to think he was good to go back in the game.
Meanwhile, Barkley says he’s not concerned about his groin injury. Says he’s dealt with it before. As for whether he pushed to get back in the game, he said, “I went out swinging, I’ll say that.” Pic.twitter.com/x16nihlqmV
