Philadelphia will be short two offensive starters in London. The Eagles have ruled out running back Saquon Barkley and wide receiver DeVonta Smith for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, both with hamstring injuries.

Same injury, different weeks

Barkley was hurt during last week’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams, a game Smith had already missed with his own hamstring injury.

What it means Sunday

The absences remove Philadelphia’s lead rusher and a top receiver from a game the Eagles play overseas. The club has not said whether either player is expected back for Week 6.
