Eagles RB Tank Bigsby needs core-muscle surgery for an injury suffered in the Week 4 loss to the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Bigsby will be placed on IR with the hope that he's back in "six weeks or shorter," per Rapoport. Philadelphia also lost RB Saquon Barkley to a hamstring injury on Sunday. We're still waiting to find out how long he'll be sidelined.

Tank Bigsby took over the Philadelphia backfield Sunday after Saquon Barkley left with a hamstring injury after his second carry. Bigsby carried 14 times for 55 yards (3.9 per rush) in the loss to the Rams. Will Shipley followed with 6 carries for 23 yards (3.8). Each guy finished with no catches on a single target. They played a matching 29 snaps, but Shipley got a slight boost from Bigsby leaving late in the fourth quarter with an apparent groin injury. Shipley took the remaining six plays.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley pulled up with an apparent right leg injury on his second carry against the Rams. Barkley sustained a non-contact injury, pulling up as he reached the sideline. He hopped around keeping weight off the leg and then seemed to be trying to work out the hamstring before leaving with trainers. Barkley was, at least, walking down the sideline under his own power. We'll watch for updates on this situation.

Update: Barkley is questionable to return with a hamstring injury.

Update: Barkley has been ruled out.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley hurt his left shoulder on the first play of Sunday's win over the Titans. He managed to return for 11 more snaps in the second half, but finished the game with just four carries and a catch for 20 total yards. In Barkley's near-absence, Tank Bigsby "led" the Philly rushing with 33 yards on 13 attempts, a sickly 2.5-yard average. Will Shipley followed with seven carries for 24 yards (3.4 per rush). Each guy caught both of his targets for a mere 5 yards apiece. Bigsby contributed the team's lone rushing score.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said after the win over the Titans that he'll get an MRI on the stinger he suffered on his first carry. Barkley returned for a the start of the second half but had just 3 more carries and 1 catch the rest of the way. RBs Tank Bigsby (13 carries, 2 targets) and Will Shipley (7 carries, 2 targets) split work fairly evenly with Barkley limited. Bigsby came away with 38 yards and a TD to Shipley's 29 yards and would be the better fantasy play if Barkley misses time. We should learn more tomorrow.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley left Week 2 with an apparent left arm injury. He went to the medical tent for further evaluation. Tank Bigsby would take over as Philadelphia's lead back if Barkley is unable to return.

UPDATE: Barkley sustained a stinger and is questionable to return.

Update: Barkley returned for the start of the second half.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (stinger) did not practice on Tuesday. He seemed to come out of last week's win over the Raiders OK, so we're guessing this is more early-week rest than a worrisome injury. We'll see if Barkley gets back on the field tomorrow, ahead of Saturday's game vs. the Commanders. RB Tank Bigsby would be the best fantasy bet if Barkley did miss that one.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley rushed for 78 yards and a TD in Sunday's lopsided win over the Raiders. His 22 carries marked the second straight game of 20+ and fourth 20+ carry outing among six games since the team's bye. Barkley added 14 yards on 2 receptions among three targets, ranking second on the team in that last category on a day that found Jalen Hurts attempting only 15 passes.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley logged a season-high 26 carries in Sunday night's win over the Lions. But he turned that into a mere 83 yards (3.2 per attempt), adding 1 catch for 7 yards among two targets. That followed Barkley tying his previous carry high at 22 in the Week 10 win at Green Bay. Barkley, of course, managed just 2.7 yards per rush in that contest. And it's not clear how much of his Sunday night workload was specifically planned pregame.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said after Sunday's win over the Giants that he could have re-entered had the game been closer. He wound up missing the fourth quarter with a groin injury that he said is "nothing crazy." We'll look for further updates on Barkley' status, but he gets a well-timed Week 9 bye. RB Tank Bigsby controlled Philadelphia's backfield after Barkley exited, handling seven of nine RB carries. He's worth stashing until we know more about Barkley.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley exited with a groin injury at the end of the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Giants. He was in obvious discomfort and headed straight to the medical tent. We'll update Barkley's status when we know more. Barkley has having a huge day before exiting, totaling 174 yards and two TDs. His absence leaves Philadelphia with RBs Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and A.J. Dillon.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley heads into Monday night with the 10th-best PPR score at the position for Week 5. But his production against the Broncos carried positive and negative. Barkley caught three passes for 47 yards and a TD but added just six carries for 30 yards. That marked his fewest carries and yards for a healthy game since 2022 with the Giants.

Eagles RB Will Shipley (oblique) is out for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, which should have him on track for a Week 4 return. A.J. Dillon operated as Philadelphia’s No. 2 RB last week. RB Tank Bigsby did not play on offense.

Eagles RB Will Shipley (oblique) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. It gives him a shot to make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. Shipley, of course, is not a fantasy option as long as RB Saquon Barkley is healthy. But we're curious to see how the depth chart shakes out behind Barkley between Shipley, Tank Bigsby, and A.J. Dillon.

Eagles RB Will Shipley (oblique) is out for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. That’ll leave A.J. Dillon and the recently acquired Tank Bigsby behind Saquon Barkley. We don’t have a timetable for Shipley’s return.

The Jaguars are trading RB Tank Bigsby to the Eagles. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Philly's sending fifth- and sixth-round picks in the 2026 draft to Jacksonville.
