Will Shipley leaves London loss with foot injury as Eagles run out of backs

Eagles running back Will Shipley was ruled out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London with a foot injury. The team first listed him as questionable to return, then downgraded him to out, according to its official account.

What happened

Shipley was starting in place of Saquon Barkley, who was ruled out Friday with a hamstring injury. He punched in Philadelphia's first touchdown to tie the game 7-7 before getting hurt later in the game.

Jacksonville won 19-17 on a field goal at the buzzer.

Who is left

With Shipley out, the Eagles were down to two running backs who started the week on the practice squad, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic. He named Dameon Pierce as the top option for the rest of the game.

Confirmed so far

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday that Shipley suffered a partial tear of his plantar fascia that could sideline him for multiple weeks. His report gave a possible multiweek absence without an exact return date, following Sunday’s confirmed foot injury. Barkley is also dealing with a hamstring injury.

What RSO owners should do now

If you roster Shipley, treat him as uncertain for Week 6 until the Eagles say more, and line up a replacement on your bench or the wire.

Pierce is the name to look at first if you need a Philadelphia back. He is a short-term flier, not a long-term answer, and his value depends on whether Barkley returns next week.

Barkley owners should be watching his hamstring more closely than ever. If he is healthy, his workload could be heavy with the depth chart this thin.

What to watch next

The next checkpoints are the Eagles’ first injury report of the week and any team update on the reported tear. Barkley’s practice participation is another key line as Philadelphia prepares to host Carolina. Schefter’s report points to a possible multiweek absence for Shipley, without an exact return date.
