The Philadelphia Eagles offense lost one star last offseason when the team traded away top wideout A.J. Brown. On Sunday, they lost another -- at least temporarily.
Saquon Barkley suffered a stinger on the Eagles' opening drive in Nashville. Stingers are typically pinched nerves in the neck that cause discomfort and reduced range of motion, though they aren't especially serious. He was able to walk off the field and into the injury tent.
Barkley returned to the sideline shortly afterward with a neck roll added to his padding and his helmet on. However, he did not return to the game and was instead seen stretching his neck out while his offense took the field. He is currently questionable to return.

Who is Barkley's backup if he can't return?
Tailback duties have fallen on former Jacksonville Jaguar Tank Bigsby. He turned his first 10 carries into only 27 yards, but managed to find the end zone to tie the game at 7-7 in the second quarter.
