Barkley and Smith both missed Wednesday's practice. Smith's toe injury was a new addition to the report alongside his hamstring injury. Will Shipley, Michael Carter, Jalyx Hunt and Drew Kendall also did not practice.

Earlier injury context

Barkley and Smith missed the Week 5 game against Jacksonville with hamstring injuries. Nick Sirianni said Monday that he hoped to get offensive players back for the Carolina game. Mike Garafolo reported that one or both had a chance to return, depending on their progress during the week.

Tank Bigsby is on injured reserve. Shipley, who started in London, has a partial plantar fascia tear that Tom Pelissero and Adam Schefter reported could keep him out for multiple weeks. Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele remained the healthy running backs on the active roster when Philadelphia opened its practice week. Marquise Brown was limited Wednesday with an ankle injury.
