Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith but RB Saquon Barkley has no injury designation for Sunday night’s game vs. Washington Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles ruled wide receiver DeVonta Smith out for Sunday night's matchup against Washington due to a hamstring injury. Running back Saquon Barkley carries no injury designation and is cleared to play after managing hamstring and back issues during practice.

Why it matters: Philadelphia enters the contest at 2-5 on a five-game losing streak, having previously ruled out Barkley and Smith together earlier this month. Clearing Barkley stabilizes the backfield, but missing Smith removes a top perimeter target in a crucial divisional test.

By the numbers: Philadelphia is 2-5 (15th seed in the NFC) on a five-game losing streak, most recently falling 38-21 to Dallas on Oct. 26.

What to watch: Philadelphia kicks off against Washington on Sunday night, with the NFL trade deadline following on Nov. 10 at 4 p.m. ET.
