Star running back + fresh practice injury scare + no regular-season absence announced + objective Week 1 active/inactive resolution
Saquon Barkley appeared to tweak his left foot or ankle during 11-on-11 work late in Eagles practice. Trainers examined him on the field, and he did not put his left cleat back on afterward. The encouraging sign is that Barkley stayed on the field and did not go into the medical tent. Philadelphia has not announced that he will miss regular-season time, so his Week 1 active status provides the clearest objective resolution point.
