LeSean McCoy

Eagles RB Chris Polk suffered a torn hamstring

Eagles RB Chris Polk hasn’t practiced in more than three weeks. He missed the first two preseason games and won’t play Thursday night in the third. He’s still not fully recovered from his hamstring injury.

It wasn’t a routine pull. He said he suffered a Grade 2 partial tear, the kind that keep guys -- running backs, especially -- sidelined for long periods of time. Polk hasn’t since been able to practice in any capacity. Last Thursday, hours before kickoff in New England, he jogged around the field in sweats and caught some balls to test his progress. He felt good, but not great.

He’s still not fully recovered and probably won’t be in the next few days, but Polk insisted that he’ll practice next week, whatever it takes. It’s risky, but he knows the NFL motto. Guys don’t make the club from the tub.

Fantasy Impact: 

A Grade 2 tear typically takes four to six weeks, so Polk may return in one to three weeks depending on how quickly his muscle is healing. We believe that he would be the primary ballcarrier if LeSean McCoy were to miss time, but he has to get healthy and make the team first.

Eagles trade for RB Kenjon Barner

Eagles acquire running back and returner Kenjon Barner from Carolina for a conditional 7th round draft pick in 2015.

Fantasy Impact: 

Barner played for Chip Kelly at Oregon, and was not going to contribute much in Carolina. It's a sign that the Eagles may be looking to shore up things behind Darren Sproles, since Chris Polk has been injured for much of camp.

Going into training camp, Eagles running back Chris Polk was considered very close to a lock to make the team.

Speaking to the media on Tuesday, head coach Chip Kelly made it sound like that may have changed due to the running back missing over two weeks of practice with a hamstring injury.

"It's a big factor," Kelly said of Polk missing time. "You gotta be able to play. It's tough for us to say, we know what you can do, but you also have to go out on the field and show it."

Fantasy Impact: 

Polk was expected to be LeSean McCoy's backup with Darren Sproles remaining as more of a receiver if McCoy would go down at any point this season. With Polk absent, backup running backs Matthew Tucker and Henry Josey have gained ground on him for the final spot. Tucker had two touchdowns against the Chicago Bears in the team's first preseason game, and Henry had an impressive touchdown catch against the New England Patriots last week.

Undrafted Eagles rookie running back David Fluellen knows that you probably haven’t been paying too much attention to him thus far in Training Camp. It’s understandable, after all, with the likes of LeSean McCoy and Darren Sproles in the backfield and young, talented players like Chris Polk and Matthew Tucker ahead on the depth chart.

But Fluellen did his best to introduce himself to Eagles fans Friday night, rushing for 25 yards on six carries, including a few bruising runs between the tackles, and diving in for his first NFL touchdown on a 14-yard screen pass.

“I think they got a glimpse of what I could do. I feel like I can still do more and I just have to show it next week,” Fluellen said. “It was a great experience. My first NFL game, I went out there and just played and had fun with it.”
