Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley and wide receiver DeVonta Smith did not practice Wednesday because of hamstring injuries, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Schefter said both absences were official.
Barkley has been Philadelphia's most-used runner through four games in 2026–27, carrying 36 times for 182 yards. He also has four receptions on seven targets for eight yards and has lost one fumble. His absence removes a back who has handled a substantial share of the Eagles' rushing work.
Smith has played three games this season and has produced 19 catches for 235 yards and one receiving touchdown on 27 targets. He also has one solo tackle, his only total tackle of the season. Missing practice takes a productive receiver out of the Eagles' preparation.
The Eagles are 2-2. They rank 27th among 32 teams in offensive EPA and 16th in defensive EPA, leaving the offense to manage practice without Barkley and Smith.
