PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles running back Saquon Barkley likely will sit out Sunday's regular-season finale against the New York Giants, coach Nick Sirianni said, putting an end to his chase of the single-season rushing record.
With Philadelphia's postseason seeding secured, Sirianni suggested Barkley will be one of the starters who will rest as the Eagles gear up for the playoffs.
"He will probably be somebody that rests," Sirianni said.
If so, Barkley will end the regular season 101 yards shy of breaking Eric Dickerson's NFL record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984.
