Philadelphia, PA – Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, known for his on-field dominance and off-field philanthropy, has recently received troubling news regarding his charitable organization, the Michael Ann & Saquon Barkley Foundation. The foundation, which was established to provide support and resources to underserved communities, especially in the areas of education, health, and wellness, is facing a setback that has left Barkley and his team deeply concerned.
According to sources close to the foundation, an unexpected financial discrepancy has emerged, leading to delays in the execution of several planned initiatives. The news comes as a shock to Barkley, who has always prioritized his foundation’s mission of giving back to the community, particularly through youth programs and support for families in need.
“It’s incredibly disappointing to hear that something outside of football is impacting the work we’ve been so passionate about,” Barkley said in a statement. “The foundation means a lot to me, and it’s difficult to see any obstacles that may hinder our ability to help those who depend on us. We are committed to resolving the issue swiftly and ensuring that our initiatives continue to make a positive impact.”
The foundation has not disclosed specific details regarding the financial discrepancy, but insiders suggest that it involves administrative errors and mismanagement of funds that may have affected some of their ongoing programs. While the organization is working to address the situation, Barkley has reassured supporters that all necessary steps are being taken to ensure the foundation’s long-term success and transparency moving forward.
“My team and I are fully invested in making sure that this doesn’t interfere with the work we’re doing for the community,” Barkley continued. “We’ll work through this, and we’re committed to delivering on the promises we’ve made to those who rely on us.”
The Michael Ann & Saquon Barkley Foundation has been a significant force in promoting social change and providing resources to those who need them most. While this setback may temporarily slow the momentum, Barkley’s resolve to continue his charitable efforts remains unwavering. As he navigates this unexpected challenge, fans and supporters are hopeful that the foundation will quickly recover and continue its vital work.
The Detroit Lions are coming up on one of the most important games of their 2025-26 season on Sunday, November 9, with a high-profile contest against the reigning champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, on the road. There’s a a reason this is a primetime game. Both the Lions and Eagles are at the top of the NFC, and both teams have reasons they could pull off the win.
The Eagles have a leg up going into Sunday’s game, with a 7-2 record and quarterback Jalen Hurts ready to be his mobile self. But, the Lions aren’t far behind them, with a 6-3 record and their own stats-glowing quarterback Jared Goff.
So, the Lions will have to be in top form against the Eagles, and that includes being as healthy as possible. Injuries have plagued the Lions in the past, but right now, their injury report could certainly be worse. But, the Lions were given a scare on Wednesday, November 14, when defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was included a DNP due to an elbow injury on the Lions’ practice report. So, how is he doing now?
An injured Hutchinson would be terrible for the Detroit Lions against the Philadelphia Eagles. The team needs him to put pressure on Hurts and sack him as much as possible. When Hutchinson showed up on the team’s injury report, he came out and said that he would be good to go on Sunday, but it’s still disconcerting to see that he has an elbow injury, even if it’s small.
Well, on Thursday, November 13, Hutchinson returned to full practice participation. That’s a reason to truly breathe a sigh of relief. Now, things aren’t perfect. Tight end Sam LaPorta, cornerback Terrion Arnold and safety Kerby Joseph missed practice for the second consecutive day on Thursday. But, at least Hutchinson is back.
Hutchinson has notched 18 total tackles, 17 quarterback hits, 57 pressures and 38 hurries in the 2025-26 season alone, according to NFL research. He’s also recorded seven sacks and four forced fumbles, the latter figure which is the highest in the NFL.
According to research from Pro Football Focus, Hutchinson has also notched a 91.2 overall grade, which puts him third in the league among 114 graded edge defenders, and a 92.3 pass-rush grade, which is second.
The Eagles have Hurts, but the Lions have Goff, and Jared’s numbers are shining this season. On Wednesday, November 12, the Detroit Lions took to social media to announce Goff’s numbers from this season, and they’re among the best in the league.
According to NFL research, Goff is first in the entire league in completion at 74%. He’s also second in passing touchdowns at 20, passer rating at 117.7 and passing first down at 41.4%, plus fourth in passing touchdowns at 7.3% and fifth in yards per attempt at 8.19.
Sunday’s game will be the first time these teams have played each other since the 2022-23 season, so that brings even more excitement to the contest. The two teams were close to going up each other in last season’s NFC championship game, but the Lions fell to the Washington Commanders in the postseason, before that could happen.
