Sirianni undecided on Barkley status but points to '21 Smith call

Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni hasn't decided whether he'll let Saquon Barkley attempt to break the NFL's single-season rushing record Sunday, but he says he'll talk to everyone in the organization, including owner Jeffrey Lurie, before making that call.

Barkley needs 101 yards to break Eric Dickerson's NFL record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984, but the Eagles (13-3) have clinched the NFC East division title and are locked into the NFC's No. 2 seed. That makes Sunday's game against the New York Giants a prime chance for Sirianni to rest his starters in anticipation of the Eagles' wild-card playoff game the following week.
