What happened: Eagles running back Saquon Barkley said his "hamstring came out great" and he does not believe his back issue will keep him out, per Adam Schefter, citing Tim McManus. Barkley said Monday that the back problem was compensatory after he tweaked his hamstring on his first run of the game and tried to play through it, per EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Why it matters: Philadelphia lost 38-21 to Dallas on Monday and sits 2-4 after four straight defeats. Barkley is listed as questionable, and the Eagles have already dealt with hamstring trouble for him this season.

What to watch: Barkley's practice participation this week will indicate whether the back issue limits him.
