Eagles RB returns against Steelers

PHILADELPHIA – Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley returned to Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers after halftime after leaving early in the second quarter with an undisclosed injury.

Barkley entered the blue medical tent on the Eagles’ sideline, but left after not spending much time there and rejoined his teammates on the sideline with his helmet on.

Barkley’s last play before his exit came with about 13 minutes left in the second quarter; He was tackled by Patrick Queen after a three-yard gain. Substitute Kenneth Gainwell stepped in for the remainder of the drive, giving the Eagles a 17-3 lead. Philadelphia led 17-13 at halftime. Barkley had seven runs for 31 yards before his departure – one run for 22 yards made up the majority of his performance.

However, the two-time Pro Bowl selection returned on the first series of the second half.

The former New York Giants star already owned the Eagles’ single-season rushing record, a league-best 1,623 yards. He is the first of a three-year, $37.8 million contract ($26 million guaranteed).
