Eagles' Saquon Barkley (stinger) returns after halftime vs. Titans, Dallas Goedert questionable

CBS Sports reports Saquon Barkley left with a stinger on Philadelphia's first offensive play at Tennessee but returned after halftime, with Tank Bigsby handling the backfield in between. Dallas Goedert is questionable.

Barkley came back, which ends the conversation. A stinger that costs a half in a 39.5-total game where the Eagles are 7-point favorites is not a roster decision for an RB with a 247.7-point season projection. Bigsby's audition was a half long and his 0.3 points in Week 1 tell you how the depth chart actually reads. Hold Barkley and do nothing. Goedert is the only real question, and if he's out you need a TE-premium replacement ready before kickoff.
