Will Shipley

After being diagnosed with a partial tear of his plantar fascia earlier this week, Shipley was slated for a multi-week absence, and he now will miss at least the next four games while on IR. He'll join Tank Bigsby (abdomen) on the list, and with Saquon Barkley currently tending to a lingering hamstring injury, the Eagles have just two healthy RBs (Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele) on the active roster. Shipley's next chance for game action is Sunday, Nov. 22 against the Steelers.

Considering Shipley suffered a partial tear of his plantar fascia during this past Sunday's defeat to the Jaguars in London and is facing a multi-week absence, his lack of practice reps so far this week is expected. With No. 1 RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) also not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, the Eagles may be preparing to deploy the duo of Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele out of their backfield Sunday against the Panthers.

It's not much of a surprise to see a DNP next to Shipley's name on the Eagles' first injury report of Week 6 prep given that the third-year running back was diagnosed with a partial tear of his plantar fascia following the team's 19-17 Week 5 loss to the Jaguars in London. Shipley is facing a multi-week absence, and with Saquon Barkley (hamstring) also idle for Wednesday's session, the Eagles may have to turn to Dameon Pierce to lead the backfield against the Panthers on Sunday.
