# Saquon Barkley back injury status?

The wiki doesn't show any **back injury** for Saquon Barkley in 2026. He's been dealing with a **hamstring strain** that cost him Weeks 5-6, but he returned Week 7 and lit it up — 49 yards and a TD on his first three carries against the Cowboys (from the [Saquon Barkley page](https://chatffb.com/players/saquon-barkley)).

If you saw something about a back issue, it may be outdated info from a prior season or a different player. As of the latest wiki update (Week 7+), Barkley is healthy and playing through a massive workload with both Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley on IR.
