Saquon Barkley downplays meeting with Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown: 'It was a good thing'

PHILADELPHIA — Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley confirmed that they, along with A.J. Brown, had a lengthy discussion this week amid the Eagles ’ offensive struggles.

Barkley downplayed any drama around the meeting. The star running back emphasized it wasn’t a full-blown “players-only meeting,” instead describing it as a “good thing.”

“The focus was all about the team,” Barkley said Tuesday at the NovaCare Complex. “When you hear ‘players-only meetings,’ all hell is breaking loose. It wasn’t that at all. But we’re all teammates. We’re all friends. We were just having a conversation.”

Hurts added: “It was just talking about the collective, about us taking ownership for what we can, and talking about how we move forward as a team so we can continue to find ways to win games.”
