Eagles' Backfield Depth Further Tested as Barkley Leaves Cowboys Game

Barkley returned against Washington after playing only nine official snaps against Dallas and says he wants to stay and help turn things around; he says the organization told him he will not be traded. He was limited at Thursday practice after missing Monday, and hamstring and back issues leave his Week 9 workload uncertain. Smith and Wicks remained out Thursday, with their likely absence projected.
