The Eagles got a welcome sight at Thursday's practice, with running back Saquon Barkley back on the field in limited work after last week's stinger.
Jeremy Fowler (@JFowlerESPN): Barkley back on the field after last week's stinger. Also, TE Dallas Goedert (MCL sprain) is expected to avoid short-term IR. He's set to miss a few weeks.
Barkley told reporters after the Week 2 win over the Titans he expected to be good to go for Week 3, and the limited Thursday session is a positive sign for Monday night against the Bears. Tight end Dallas Goedert, meanwhile, is handling an MCL sprain and will miss a few weeks, though he's expected to avoid short-term IR — a break for an offense already navigating receiver injuries, where DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was a DNP Thursday.
