The Philadelphia Eagles' passing game has taken a backseat to Saquon Barkley's magnificent rushing ability this season, but head coach Nick Sirianni will need the offense to fire on all cylinders if they are going to reach the Super Bowl.
PHILADELPHIA — The biggest injury concern as the Eagles returned to the practice field Wednesday in South Philadelphia was star receiver A.J. Brown, who has been dealing with a knee injury since the team’s Week 9 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and has been practicing very little in recent weeks.
Jalen Hurts did his job, for the most part. Oren Burks and Isaiah Rodgers step into key spots because of injuries.
"We've done it before, so it's not too far," Brown said of the Eagles' passing game. "It's not like it's never been done. We just gotta do what we gotta do."
Barkley emerged from the bye rushing for 176 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 and went on to deliver an MVP-caliber season. He topped the 100-yard mark in nine of his 11 post-bye regular-season games and finished with 2,005 rushing yards.
Along with Barkley and Baun, the Eagles had Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean named finalists for Defensive Rookie of the Year. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is up for Assistant Coach of the Year.
