What happened: Philadelphia general manager Howie Roseman will evaluate potential moves ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline but will keep running back Saquon Barkley in place, according to Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport. Team leadership considers Barkley an essential anchor for future contention rather than a short-term trade asset.

Why it matters: Philadelphia sits at 2-5 after five consecutive losses, which prompted an earlier five-game skid that raised trade questions around Barkley and other veterans. Retaining the running back signals that the organization is prioritizing stability despite its position at 15th in the conference standings.

By the numbers: Last season (2025), Barkley logged 280 carries for 1,140 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 games with the Eagles. In 2026, Philadelphia is 2-5 through seven games on a five-game losing streak.

What to watch: The Eagles visit the Washington Commanders on Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET before navigating roster decisions ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline.
