Quick Summary

Philadelphia Eagles do not plan to trade star running back Saquon Barkley ahead of the NFL trade deadline on November 10, despite a struggling season with key player injuries. With Barkley limited by back and hamstring issues, he has played in only five games this year, amassing 244 rushing yards and one touchdown—a significant drop from his previous performance levels. The team’s current record of 2-5 reflects the impact of multiple injuries, including Jalen Hurts’ season-ending blood clot diagnosis and DeVonta Smith’s ongoing hamstring issues.

Story summary

As of November 1, 2026, the Philadelphia Eagles have no plans to trade star running back Saquon Barkley before the NFL's upcoming trade deadline on November 10. Despite the team's poor start with a 2-5 record and ongoing injuries to quarterback Jalen Hurts among others, ESPN reports that the Eagles still believe they can contend in future seasons with their current core players, including Barkley. With two years and around $35 million remaining on his contract, Philadelphia values Barkley's contributions to the team. Meanwhile, other teams like the Indianapolis Colts are actively considering trading their star running back Jonathan Taylor, who has four 1,000-yard rushing seasons under his belt.

🔮 The Eagles, given their 2-5 record, might end up trading players ahead of the trade deadline, but Saquon Barkley won’t be one of them.
🔮 If it’s a post-up game or something like that, OK, maybe, I don’t know.
🔮 They didn’t find “that gear” — the one they needed to overpower opponents, the one that defined their sprint through May and June — until the fourth quarter.
🔮 “What I would say is when we’re going through the process, the process is so thorough that — or our process I feel like is thorough — that it may not be for today,” Schoen said of what changed.
🔮 McCarthy said his tradition will continue for the rest of his career, though it’s “strictly” reserved for Stroud, maybe Dolphins backup Kyle McCord and then Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day if he ever “comes up to the NFL.”
🔮 The next test for the Rangers’ perfect home record — the next possibility to play spoiler to a start nearing the point of being a historic one — will involve a pair of Garden returns.
🔮 For the second consecutive year, James Reimer turned a PTO into an NHL deal — and this one will help the Rangers’ goaltending puzzle.
🔮 Packers running back Josh Jacobs, who spent the first six weeks of the season on the commissioner’s exempt list following his arrest for an altercation with his then-girlfriend, was activated by Green Bay on Saturday and is expected to start Week 7 against the Lions, according to ESPN.
🔮 In the final year of his ESPN contract, and with reports swirling about tension with broadcast partner Joe Buck, Troy Aikman knows that he could be staring down change.
🔮 During Friday’s “First Take,” Dan Orlovsky said he thinks Manning — who could get benched soon after the Longhorns gave their backup more reps in practice — should skip declaring for the draft this year and spend another season elsewhere at the college level.

Narrative

Barkley, who planned to play through both back and hamstring injuries Sunday night against the Commanders, has been limited to just five games, 244 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown — less than two seasons removed from when he erupted for 2,005 yards and finished 100 shy of Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record.
