Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts went down with a concussion in Week 16 against the Commanders and has been in the National Football League's concussion protocol ever since. He has missed practice time as he has dealt with the concussion and it's still unclear when he will get through the protocol.

Barkley became only the ninth player in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards last week against the Cowboys. He’s at 2,005 — exactly 100 yards shy of Eric Dickerson, who set the mark of 2,105 in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni decided this Sunday would be a day of rest for the Eagles’ starters and nobody was more impacted than Saquon Barkley. That meant the running back’s pursuit of Eric Dickerson’s 40-year-old rushing record was over even though it was very much within reach.
