Barkley Returns After Stinger in Eagles-Titans Week 2

Saquon Barkley suffered a neck/shoulder stinger on the opening play of the Eagles’ Week 2 game against the Titans, left to the medical tent, returned at halftime to play into the third quarter, and departed again; he will undergo an MRI to assess the injury. With Barkley out, Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley contributed, and Philadelphia shuffled the line—Cam Jurgens to left guard and Drew Kendall at center after Landon Dickerson went IR. Barkley had a quiet Week 1, recording one carry for zero yards.

Barkley exits with stinger as Eagles lean on Bigsby and Shipley

In Week 2 against the Titans, Eagles running back Saquon Barkley left with a left‑side stinger on his first carry and did not return; Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley split carries as Barkley was questionable to return, later seen on the sideline wearing a neck collar but not re-entering the game.

Scorpions Get Metallic Armor: Metals Harden Stingers and Claws

Researchers mapped metal distribution (zinc, manganese, iron) in the stingers and pincers of 18 scorpion taxa from the Smithsonian using high‑resolution imaging. They found intentional metal enrichment: zinc at the stinger tip to harden the spear, manganese lower down to improve flexibility and vibration absorption, and iron in claw denticles to boost abrasion resistance. Patterns vary with species’ hunting vs. defensive use, with zinc enrichment higher in weaker, slender claws and an inverse relationship between stinger and claw zinc levels, suggesting evolutionary allocation of metals to the weapon most used. The study also notes intra‑species variation and life‑stage differences remain to be explored.
