Barkley is good to go

Saquon Barkley will play Sunday night against the Washington Commanders. He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday with hamstring and back injuries, returned on Friday and came off the Eagles’ final injury report entirely. “Definitely dealing with some stuff, but working through it,” he said.

Eagles thin at receiver

Philadelphia ruled out DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for another game, along with receivers Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Britain Covey (knee), linebacker Jihaad Campbell and cornerback Jonathan Jones. Cornerback Jakorian Bennett (knee) is questionable.

Payne’s season is over

Washington downgraded defensive tackle Daron Payne to out after he hurt his foot in Friday’s practice. On Saturday the injury was confirmed as a season-ending Jones fracture, and he is headed to injured reserve. Javon Kinlaw (knee) was already out, so the Commanders will be without two of their top defensive tackles.

Lamar Jackson has no designation and is set to start at Buffalo after missing three games with a high ankle sprain. The Ravens did rule out rookie right guard Vega Ioane (knee), who had practiced on Thursday and Friday. The Chargers ruled out Derwin James (hamstring) against the Rams.
