Saquon Barkley confirms he was dealing with a “minor” injury against the Steelers

In the first half against the Steelers, Eagles’ RB Saquon Barkley took a helmet to the thigh in a hit that had him land on his shoulder. It appeared at the time like the hit resulted in him being checked out in the blue medical tent, but Barkley confirmed post-game that it wasn’t due to the hit and was just a minor thing he was dealing with.

Saquon Barkley said he was "dealing with a little something," which is why he missed extended time during the game.

"I'm not going to go too much into that, but the guys stepped up big, Kenny was able to make some big plays for us and I was able to tough it out.
