2026 Week 7 Eagles Injury Report: Barkley Questionable, Smith and Wicks Ruled Out

Philadelphia heads into Monday night against Dallas thin at receiver, with Saquon Barkley's status still up in the air.

According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), the Eagles have ruled out wide receivers DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) for Monday night's game against the Cowboys, while running back Saquon Barkley is listed as questionable after moving up to full practice participation on Saturday. Barkley has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury.

Saquon Barkley

Full practice participation on Saturday is a genuinely encouraging sign — it's the clearest signal yet that Barkley has a real shot to play Monday. If he's active, start him with confidence; the Eagles will lean on the run game hard with their receiver room gutted. If he's inactive, his handoff situation isn't addressed by the source story, so don't assume a clear backup exists — proceed with caution on any Eagles backfield speculation.

DeVonta Smith

Smith is out, and with Wicks also ruled out, the Eagles receiver room is down to Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore, and Britain Covey, per the report. That's a thin group. In PPR leagues (point-per-reception formats), whoever steps into a featured role among that group becomes a matchup-driven streamer — but none of them carry enough certainty to roster with confidence right now.

Dontayvion Wicks

Wicks is out with an ankle injury. His absence compounds an already bad situation at receiver. He had been part of the Eagles' WR corps, but with both him and Smith gone, the targets have to go somewhere — monitor the active receivers above for last-minute waiver pickups if your league allows it this close to kickoff.

The clearest fantasy takeaway here is the connection between the receiver chaos and Barkley's value. If Barkley plays, the Eagles have every reason to funnel the offense through him. If he sits, this offense is genuinely hard to trust at the skill positions on Monday night.
