Eagles running back Will Shipley likely out for weeks with injury
Summary

Will Shipley, the Philadelphia Eagles' third-string running back, is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a partial tear of his plantar fascia. The injury occurred during the Eagles' 19-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on October 8, 2026. This setback comes as the team already contends with injuries to starter Saquon Barkley, who has a hamstring issue, and backup Tank Bigsby, currently on injured reserve with a core muscle injury. Dameon Pierce is likely to take on a larger role in the Eagles' backfield as they head into Week 6.
