Eagles rule out RB Saquon Barkley, WR DeVonta Smith, along with member of new-look OL, ahead of London game vs. Jaguars

The Philadelphia Eagles will enter their Week 5 clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London facing a significant offensive setback, as star running back Saquon Barkley and top wide receiver DeVonta Smith have been ruled out of Sunday’s game. The absence of both players adds to the Eagles’ mounting challenges, as they also lose a key member of their newly assembled offensive line to injury.

With the team already struggling after a 2-2 start and recent departures of two starting linemen—one via retirement and another through trade—the loss of Barkley and Smith further complicates quarterback Jalen Hurts’ ability to sustain a productive attack. The Jaguars, currently riding an 11-game winning streak in the regular season, will look to capitalize on the Eagles’ reduced firepower during the international matchup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Eagles’ depth at running back and wide receiver will be tested as they attempt to regain their footing in a tough AFC division.
