The Philadelphia Eagles opened Week 3 with unresolved injury questions involving two of their most important offensive players.

Saquon Barkley underwent an MRIafter sustaining a shoulder injury during Sunday’s 24-20 win over the Tennessee Titans. Barkley was injured on Philadelphia’s opening offensive play, returned during the second half, and finished with four carries for 9 yards. The Eagles have not announced the MRI results or established Barkley’s availability for Monday night against the Chicago Bears. Dallas Goedert also left Sunday’s game with a knee injury and did not return. His status could affect an already thin tight end group that has played without rookie Eli Stowers.

Philadelphia has additional time before facing Chicago on Monday

night, but the first practice report will provide the clearest indication of how the offense might look. Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley would be the primary backfield alternatives if Barkley cannot play or has his workload restricted. Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins would handle larger roles if Goedert is unavailable.

Until testing results and practice participation provide more clarity, Philadelphia’s plans remain unsettled.
