Eagles coach Nick Sirianni hasn't decided whether he'll let Saquon Barkley attempt to break the NFL's single-season rushing record Sunday but he says he'll talk to everyone in the organization, including owner Jeffrey Lurie, before making that call.

Although he hasn’t yet made any decisions, he did point out that he played wide receiver DeVonta Smith in the 2021 season finale so he could break DeSean Jackson’s franchise rookie receiving yards record but rested other players. Smith caught three passes for 41 yards in the finale against the Dallas Cowboys to finish with 916 yards on the season and the rookie record.

“If you think back a couple of years ago to 2021, Smitty was going for the rookie receiver record. Everybody else was resting, but we wanted for everyone else – whatever it was – we didn’t play some other guys in that game, but we went and got him that record,” Sirianni said. “Every situation is a little different. Not saying one way or the other or how that’s going to play out or even that I made a decision yet.”
