Here we go again. Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is injured again and the offense for Philly now has even more to be concerned about.
Barkley got hurt on the second drive of the game against the Los Angeles Rams when he was running towards the sidelines and came up hobbling. FOX NFL sideline reporter Tom Rinaldi shared that Barkley was heading to the locker room with a hamstring injury. He is listed as questionable.
This is the second time that Barkley has been hurt early in the first quarter of a game. He suffered a stinger injury in the Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans and would only play in 10 snaps.
Eagles just have bad luck at this point with Saquon Barkley's latest injury
It just continues to be bad news and a rough season for Barkley through four games. He has now gotten hurt twice and when it looks like he gets momentum, something happens.
Now the Eagles are going to have to roll with Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley in the backfield. Both have struggled to establish any momentum throughout the season.
Running the football against the Rams is going to be tough now that they are out Barkley. The offense is going to struggle with DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Lane Johnson all being ruled out for the game beforehand.
At the moment, it's Dontayvion Wicks as WR1, Zach Ertz filling in at tight end, and Markel Bell replacing Johnson. There are so many injuries that Eagles team has had over the last few weeks, which is not going to make things easy on them.
Once again, Jalen Hurts has more pressure on him to carry this offense through the injuries and get his team on track. The Eagles continue to be plagued by everyone getting hurt and playing through injuries.
One question is going to be whether the Eagles can work through it and get the running game going with Bigsby and Shipley. With two starting offensive linemen out, that won't make it easy on the scattered offensive line.

Eagles fans will have to see how the rest of the game plays out and see how it goes. If the Eagles lost Barkley the rest of the game, that might be a clear indication that the Rams could be on their way to a win.
