Eagles to be without Barkley and Shipley against Panthers

DeVonta Smith is off the injury report and set to play after missing the last two games.

The Eagles will head into their Week 6 matchup against the Panthers without their top two running backs. Saquon Barkley, who did not practice all week with a hamstring injury, has been ruled out. Will Shipley, dealing with a foot injury, is also out, leaving Philadelphia's backfield thin.

There is better news at receiver. DeVonta Smith, who had been dealing with a hamstring and toe issue, is off the injury report and will play after being a full participant in Friday's practice. Smith said he felt good but left the final call up to the doctors, who cleared him. He has 19 catches for 235 yards with one touchdown so far in 2026, and his return gives the Eagles back one of their top offensive weapons after he missed the last two games.

The Eagles will also be without defensive back Michael Carter, who has an abdomen injury, and outside linebacker Jalyx Hunt, who is dealing with knee and ankle issues. Quarterback Jalen Hurts, nursing a calf injury, has also been ruled out for Sunday's game.
