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) 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.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is considered "week to week" with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "It’s not considered to be a long-term injury," Rapoport adds. Barkley is a near lock to miss this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars and should be considered iffy for Week 6. With RB Tank Bigsby (core) heading to IR, Will Shipley is the last RB standing on Philadelphia's 53-man roster. RBs Dameon Pierce and Jaydon Blue are on the practice squad. We'll see what moves the Eagles make this week, but Shipley is a good bet to lead the backfield against Jacksonville, making him at least a RB3 or flex option. We'll have more on Shipley in Tuesday's waiver targets article.

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 (stinger) is off the final injury report for Monday night's game vs. the Bears. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Friday and Saturday, and should be ready for his usual workload in this plus matchup. Barkley remains a must-start.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (stinger) expects to play vs. the Bears on Monday night, insider Jeff McLane hears. Barkley was on the field for the start of Thursday's practice. We'll see if he's listed as limited or full on the official injury report and continue to track Barkley's status over the next few days. But he can be penciled into Week 3 fantasy lineups for now.

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 had a solid opener Sunday against Washington, averaging 5.5 yards per carry across his 15 attempts on a low-volume offensive day for Philly. The Eagles ran just 53 offensive plays to Washington's 67 and possessed the ball for 6:40 less. But Barkley didn't get much in the passing game, got iffy interior blocking, and then lost a starting guard to injury.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (stinger) is not listed on the final Week 16 injury report. He took Tuesday off but was a full-go in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Barkley will be ready for his usual role vs. the Commanders on Saturday.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (stinger) returned to a full practice on Wednesday. He should be ready for his usual role vs. the Commanders on Saturday. We'll see how Barkley is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

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.

The Eagles likely lost star RT Lane Johnson for at least the rest of the fantasy season in Sunday night's win over the Lions. Johnson suffered a Lisfranc foot injury that is expected to cost him 4-6 weeks, NFL Network reports.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (groin) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He'll be ready for his usual workload on Monday night against the Packers' fourth-ranked RB defense.

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.
