Saquon Barkley

Saquon Barkley managers need not panic. The Eagles didn't sign Barkley to a three-year, $37.750 million contract to play him behind Gainwell. Instead, these early reps should serve as a reminder that, for now, Gainwell is the preferred option as Barkley's backup, giving him some value as a late-round handcuff in fantasy. We're barely through the first week of camp, and a lot can change over the next several weeks. Gainwell is the longest-tenured Eagles back and will presumably work ahead of rookie Will Shipley until Shipley gets acclimated to the offense.

NFL training camps are in full swing Wednesday, as all of the league's teams began the 2024 grind.

Eagles RB Kenneth Gainwell is receiving some first-team reps in camp. It has not been exclusively RB Saquon Barkley with the first team, per Brandon Lee Gowton of Bleeding Green.

Saquon Barkley hopes to revive his career with the Eagles the way Christian McCaffrey did with the 49ers with lots of yards and wins.

After watching his exit play out on Hard Knocks, Saquon Barkley is relishing his next chapter in Philly.
