Eagles' beat-up backfield loses Barkley, Shipley; Smith likely to return

The Philadelphia Eagles have ruled out running backs Saquon Barkley and Shipley for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers due to injuries. Barkley is sidelined with a hamstring issue, further depleting the team's backfield depth ahead of the matchup.

Conversely, wide receiver DeVonta Smith is expected to return to the lineup for the contest. His availability provides a boost to the Eagles' receiving corps as the team navigates multiple personnel absences.
