Is Saquon Barkley playing today? Why Eagles RB is off to slow start in Week 17 image

Saquon Barkley is having a down year by his standards in 2025 with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Barkley has tallied 1,072 rushing yards and seven touchdowns so far this season. The 28-year-old has posted over 1,000 rushing yards in five seasons, but will fall short of his 2,000-yard campaign in 2024.

Barkley is still a valuable part of Philadelphia's offense, but he's off to a slow start in Week 17 versus the Buffalo Bills.

Is Saquon Barkley playing today?

Yes, Barkley is active and playing.

However, he didn't receive a carry on the Eagles' opening drive, which ended in a three-and-out.

It shouldn't take long for Barkley to get going.
