In the Philadelphia Eagles’ recent matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, running back Saquon Barkley sustained an injury during the fourth quarter. The incident occurred after a short first-down carry where he attempted a spin move to evade defenders. Unfortunately, as he crossed the line to gain, he was met with considerable contact.
Barkley remained on the ground after the play, prompting medical staff to attend to him. Although he was able to walk off the field unaided, he was seen receiving treatment on his left shoulder from an Eagles athletic trainer. He did not re-enter the game, which concluded shortly after his exit, despite A.J. Brown scoring a touchdown for Philadelphia.
