Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby is set for core muscle surgery and will be placed on injured reserve. This comes in the wake of Saquon Barkley's hamstring injury sustained during a 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Bigsby had taken on a larger role in the Eagles' offense following Barkley's exit, but now faces recovery and absence from the roster. Further updates are expected once the surgery is completed.
