Barkley suffers new back injury after returning from hamstring absence.

Saquon Barkley returned from a two-game hamstring absence in Week 7 only to suffer an unrelated back injury in the second quarter, leaving in and out of the lineup before departing for good in the fourth quarter; the new back injury appears less severe than the hamstring that sidelined him two games, but fantasy managers should monitor his practice participation throughout the week.
