Eagles Get Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith Back Just in Time to Ruin the Bears' Monday Night

The Philadelphia Eagles are getting their two biggest offensive weapons back just in time to face a Chicago Bears team that is currently holding open tryouts for the quarterback position.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Saturday that running back Saquon Barkley and wide receiver DeVonta Smith have officially cleared the injury report. Both are fully green-lit for Monday Night Football at Soldier Field.

"Adam Schefter tweeted: 'Eagles RB Saquon Barkley and WR DeVonta Smith officially are off the injury report and good to go Monday night vs. the Bears.'"

The news is not perfectly clean for Philadelphia, though. Wide receiver Hollywood Brown is officially out with an ankle injury, joining tight end Dallas Goedert on the sideline.

Barkley had been nursing a stinger he picked up in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, while Smith was dealing with a hamstring issue that kept him out of practice earlier in the week. Getting both back is a massive swing for an Eagles offense that already looks potent enough to carry the team.

Meanwhile, the Bears are preparing to start Case Keenum because Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent are both sidelined. Firing up a third-string quarterback against a fully loaded Philadelphia roster is the football equivalent of bringing a water pistol to a tank fight.

For anyone looking at the Monday night lines, the return of Barkley and Smith completely changes the math. Barkley already has 92 rushing yards on the young season, and Smith leads the team with 170 receiving yards.

Philadelphia gets to roll into Chicago at 2-0 with their primary playmakers intact. If the Bears want to avoid a prime-time disaster, their defense is going to have to play the game of their lives.
