Tops century mark against Pack
Published: 2025-01-12
Barkley carried the ball 25 times for 119 yards and caught both his targets for four yards in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card round win over the Packers.
The star running back could have produced even bigger numbers, but on his final tote of the day he elected to slide with nothing but open field in front of him to run out the clock, settling for a 17-yard gain rather than a potential 76-yard touchdown. It was still Barkley's first 100-yard playoff game in three tries after he managed a total of 114 yards on 18 carries over two postseason contests with the Giants. Barkley now has 2,124 rushing yards on the year between the regular season and the playoffs, the fifth-highest total of all time but still a fair distance behind Terrell Davis' NFL record of 2,476, set in 1998. Another big performance for Barkley, and another Philly win, in the divisional round could put that mark within reach.

Inactive for Week 18
Published: 2025-01-05
Barkley (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.
As was expected after the Eagles listed him doubtful heading into the weekend, Barkley will rest up in the regular-season finale while the Eagles are locked into the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Barkley will finish the regular season with 2,005 rushing yards -- the eighth-most in NFL history -- to go with 33 catches for 278 yards and 15 total touchdowns.
In line to be rested Sunday
Published: 2025-01-01
Head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters Wednesday that the Eagles plan to rest Barkley and other starters Sunday against the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
As Week 18 action approaches, Barkley needs 101 rushing yards to break Eric Dickerson's NFL record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984, per ESPN.com. However, with the 13-3 Eagles locked into the NFC's No. 2 seed, the team plans to err on the side of caution with Barkley, among other key starters this weekend. Kenneth Gainwell and Will Shipley (concussion) -- if available -- are next in line in Philadelphia's backfield, with Tyrion Davis-Price representing a potential practice squad elevation.
Clears 2,000-yard mark for season
Published: 2024-12-29
Barkley rushed 31 times for 167 yards and brought in both targets for two yards in the Eagles' 41-7 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
The Eagles are clearly intent on getting Barkley to the all-time single-season rushing yardage record if Sunday's workload is any indication, as the seven-year pro logged his highest carry total since Week 8 of last season. Barkley generated his second-highest yardage tally of the campaign with the elevated volume, his sixth 100-yard effort in the last seven contests. The 2018 first-round pick eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark on the season with Sunday's gargantuan production, leaving him exactly 100 yards away from Eric Dickerson's 2,105-yard single-season record that has stood for the last 40 years. Barkley will have a premium Week 18 matchup with which to try and make history, as the Eagles host the Giants to close out the regular season.
Massive day not enough Sunday
Published: 2024-12-22
Barkley carried the ball 29 times for 150 yards and two touchdowns and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 36-33 loss to the Commanders.
The MVP candidate opened the scoring with a two-yard score on the Eagles' first possession and followed it up with a 68-yard TD dash late in the first quarter, giving Barkley his sixth multi-touchdown game of the season. He's up to a career-high 13 rushing TDs, and with two games left on the schedule, he needs 162 more rushing yards to reach 2,000 for the first time. The Eagles' offense could look very different in Week 17 against the Cowboys however, as Jalen Hurts (concussion) and Kenny Pickett (ribs) both got hurt in Sunday's loss. If Philly is forced to turn to Tanner McKee, a 2023 sixth-round pick who has yet to attempt a pass in the NFL, under center against Dallas, Barkley may not find his usual room to run.
Held in check after injury scare
Published: 2024-12-15
Barkley rushed the ball 19 times for 65 yards in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Steelers. He added two receptions on two targets for nine yards.
Barkley missed nearly the entire second quarter with an undisclosed issue, though he handled 12 carries in the final two quarters to alleviate any injury concerns. It still wasn't a spectacular showing, as he was largely held in check by the Steelers, with the only exception being a 22-yard gain late in the first quarter. Barkley was also denied a touchdown for the second consecutive game, though he should have a chance to bounce back in Week 16 against the Commanders.
Sets franchise record in win
Published: 2024-12-08
Barkley carried the ball 20 times for 124 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Panthers. He also ran in a two-point conversion.
The star running back reached 100 rushing yards for the fourth straight game and the 10th time this season, and in the process set a new Eagles record with 1,623 yards on the year, topping LeSean McCoy's 1,607 yards from 2013. Barkley remains on track top 2,000 yards on the season, and Eric Dickerson's NFL record of 2,105 yards is firmly in his sights. Barkley will look to keep rolling in Week 15 against the Steelers.
Rumbles for 107 yards, TD in win
Published: 2024-12-01
Barkley rushed 23 times for 107 yards and a touchdown while catching two of four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens.
Barkley was in the midst of a mediocre performance by his lofty standards with just 65 rushing yards until he broke free for a 25-yard rushing touchdown with 7:56 remaining. That was his fifth rushing touchdown in the past three games and 11th of the season. Barkley also reached 100 rushing yards for the eighth time in 12 games for Philadelphia. The red-hot running back is showing no signs of slowing down ahead of a juicy Week 14 matchup against the leaky Panthers run defense.
Monstrous stat line on SNF
Published: 2024-11-24
Barkley turned 26 carries into 255 yards and two touchdowns while adding four receptions on as many targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.
Barkley ran wild on Los Angeles' entire defense from start to finish, setting both a personal and franchise record for most rushing yards in a single game. It was also the first time a running back has scored two 70-plus yard touchdowns in the same game since Jaguars legend Maurice Jones-Drew accomplished the feat against the Titans in 2009, as reported by ESPN.com's Lindsey Thiry. It was also Barkley's fifth game since joining the Eagles in which he's scored two or more touchdowns. Sunday's monster line also set a new high-water mark in rushing yards (1,392) for the seven-year pro with six games left on the schedule. Barkley is looking like the fantasy MVP heading into next Sunday's tilt at Baltimore.
