Saquon Barkley Fantasy Overview

Eagles RB Will Shipley could miss "multiple weeks" after suffering a partial tear of his plantar fascia during Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Philadelphia is now dealing with injuries to its top 3 RBs. Saquon Barkley is working back from a hamstring injury and is uncertain for Week 6. Tank Bigsby is out at least 3 more games with his core injury. Shipley's absence left Dameon Pierce in an every-down role against Jacksonville. Carson Steele was active but didn't play a single offensive snap. Jaydon Blue remains on the Eagles' practice squad. We'll see if Barkley can make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers, but we could be looking at a heavy workload for Pierce.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is out for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Jaguars in London. He didn’t practice all week and could miss more time beyond Week 5. Barkley’s absence leaves Will Shipley as Philadelphia’s likely lead back. But RB Dameon Pierce might also be involved, and this week’s matchup is tough against Jacksonville’s seventh-ranked RB defense.

Update: The Eagles also elevated RB Carson Steele from the practice squad on Friday.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He's reportedly not dealing with a long-term injury, but he's unlikely to play vs. the Jaguars this weekend and could miss multiple games. Will Shipley projects as the backfield leader for however long Barkley is out.

The first four weeks went about as poorly as they could have for the Philadelphia offense. And then things got worse. First came RT Lane Johnson announcing his retirement after missing the loss to the Rams for personal reasons. Then ESPN's Adam Schefter reported today that the Eagles are trading C/G Cam Jurgens to the Ravens. Baltimore's sending a 2027 fifth-rounder and a 2028 second for Jurgens plus a 2027 seventh. Jurgens is just 27 and remains signed through 2029, with sub-$10 million cap hits through 2027.
