What happened: Barkley exited Sunday's game with the hamstring injury. Philadelphia characterizes the injury as short-term rather than an extended absence.

Why it matters: He handled 280 carries with seven touchdowns in 2025 as the center of Philadelphia's ground game. Any multi-week absence forces redistribution of early-down work during the regular season.

What to watch: Watch upcoming practice reports for participation level. Game-day status will determine backfield assignments.
