Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is officially inactive in Week 18.
We already knew Barkley wasn’t going to play in this game. He finishes the regular season with 2,005 yards, just 100 behind Eric Dickerson’s all-time single-season record.
On Sunday, Barkley walked out during warmups wearing a shirt that says “2K Sa” to commemorate his 2,000-yard season. The back of the shirt says “How ‘bout them boys up front?”
