Saquon Barkley Returns To Action After Missing Most Of First Half With Stinger

Card image cap

The Philadelphia Eagles had a rough first drive against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Things started off ominously, as star running back Saquon Barkley left the contest after just one carry due to a stinger.

After being tackled on the first carry of the game, Barkley went into the medical tent on the sideline and eventually jogged to the locker room.

He was initially deemed questionable to return due to a stinger and missed the rest of the first half due to the injury. But when the third quarter began, Barkley was back out on the field.

Things only got worse during the Eagles first drive, as quarterback Jalen Hurts threw an interception with the Eagles on the 8-yard line.

That interception was returned all the way to the opposing 10-yard line, setting up the Titans to score a touchdown a few plays later to take an early 7-0 lead.

Philadelphia battled back without Barkley in the first half, taking a 14-10 lead into halftime.
