Despite optimistic signs from head coach Brian Daboll regarding star running back Saquon Barkley’s condition, ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reports that Barkley will be sidelined for the game. Joining him on the inactive list are left tackle Andrew Thomas, left guard Ben Bredeson, and outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari.
