Eagles can't risk DeVonta Smith & Saquon Barkley playing after the bye week

The Philadelphia Eagles' bye week is approaching as the team focuses on getting healthier. Still, they face an interesting decision regarding two of their star players, DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley.

Smith has already missed half the season with his hamstring injury and has shown zero signs that he is close to returning to the field. Barkley has missed two games this season with his own hamstring injury, but has been battling through the last three weeks with that and a back injury, and it's pretty clear that he is not 100%.

In reality, Smith and Barkley will likely take the field and play once the bye week passes and they face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. That would be a mistake…
