Philadelphia is banged up at running back … but Saquon Barkley is going to give it a go with only Elijah Mitchell and Jaydon Blue backing him up. Seems like the Eagles will have opportunities to run the ball against this Washington defense. Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links …Sources: Commanders’ Daron Payne likely IR-bound after practice injury – ESPNWashington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne suffered a significant foot injury in practice Friday that likely will land him on injured reserve, sources told NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. The injury occurred during a team drill on a day that is considered a light practice. He’ll undergo more tests Saturday, but initial X-rays showed significant damage, a team source told ESPN. Depending on what the additional tests reveal, it’s possible Payne, who’s in the final year of his contract, will be done for the season. It’s yet another blow for the Commanders, who are 1-4-1 in a pivotal third season for coach Dan Quinn. They also will be without their other starting defensive end, Javon Kinlaw, for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles (2-5) because of a knee injury.Eagles at Commanders Game Preview: 5 questions and answers with the Week 8 enemy – BGNThe Philadelphia Eagles are riding a five-game losing streak entering Sunday Night Football against the Washington Commanders, a team they beat in the season opener.
