The Philadelphia Eagles are dealing with another setback in their backfield as Carson Steele exited the game against the Carolina Panthers with a shoulder injury. Steele left the field in the first quarter, limiting the Eagles to just Dameon Pierce and Jaydon Blue as their remaining running backs. The Eagles had already been missing Saquon Barkley, Will Shipley, and Tank Bigsby due to injuries.
