The Eagles exacted revenge upon the Giants on Sunday, beating their NFC East foe 38-20 after losing to New York two weeks prior. Saquon Barkley was the primary reason. The Philly superstar recorded 174 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns in a dominant showing. But it was cut short in the second half; Barkley came up limping after a big run and ended up sitting out the rest of the game with what the team announced was a groin injury.
Speaking to media after the game Barkley didn't come across terribly concerned and said he tried to get back in the game but with the lead Philly was enjoying he was held out. On Monday, NFL insider Ian Rapoport offered up a positive update, saying the injury wasn't believed to be serious as Philly enters a bye week.
