Eagles RB Saquon Barkley came into Monday night's game vs. the Cowboys questionable with a hamstring injury. He was noticeably hobbled from his very first touch of the game. Barkley played limited snaps but touched the ball most times he was on the field. He totaled 71 yards and a score. But his last touch came late in the third quarter, when Barkley was deemed questionable to return with a back injury. So that's two ailments he's dealing with ahead of a short week. Consider Barkley iffy at best for Sunday's game vs. the Commanders. We'll keep you updated on his status. Philadelphia also lost RB Dameon Pierce to an undisclosed injury in the fourth quarter of tonight's game, leaving Elijah Mitchell as the team's last healthy RB. RB Tank Bigsby isn't eligible to return until Week 9, while RB Will Shipley is out until Week 11.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. RB Will Shipley (foot) joined RB Tank Bigsby on IR, leaving Dameon Pierce as Philly’s lead back for this one. It’s tough to get excited about the upside in this Tanner McKee-led offense with a poor offensive line. But Pierce should get decent volume against a Carolina team that sits 28th in our Run Defense Power Rankings.

Eagles RB Will Shipley could miss "multiple weeks" after suffering a partial tear of his plantar fascia during Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Philadelphia is now dealing with injuries to its top 3 RBs. Saquon Barkley is working back from a hamstring injury and is uncertain for Week 6. Tank Bigsby is out at least 3 more games with his core injury. Shipley's absence left Dameon Pierce in an every-down role against Jacksonville. Carson Steele was active but didn't play a single offensive snap. Jaydon Blue remains on the Eagles' practice squad. We'll see if Barkley can make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers, but we could be looking at a heavy workload for Pierce.

The Eagles lost No. 3 RB Will Shipley in the first half of Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. That left Dameon Pierce -- elevated this week -- to lead the backfield. He logged just 14 yards on his 11 carries (1.3 per rush) and totaled 2 catches for minus-2 yards among 5 targets.

Eagles RB Will Shipley is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars due to a foot injury. He carried 5 times for 6 yards and a TD before exiting, adding 7 more yards on his lone reception. Shipley's absence leaves Philadelphia down to RBs Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele.

Update: Shipley has been ruled out.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is out for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Jaguars in London. He didn’t practice all week and could miss more time beyond Week 5. Barkley’s absence leaves Will Shipley as Philadelphia’s likely lead back. But RB Dameon Pierce might also be involved, and this week’s matchup is tough against Jacksonville’s seventh-ranked RB defense.

Update: The Eagles also elevated RB Carson Steele from the practice squad on Friday.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. He's reportedly not dealing with a long-term injury, but he's unlikely to play vs. the Jaguars this weekend and could miss multiple games. Will Shipley projects as the backfield leader for however long Barkley is out.

The Eagles are elevating RB Dameon Pierce from the practice squad, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. Pierce joins Will Shipley as the healthy RBs on the active roster. RB Tank Bigsby is on IR, and RB Saquon Barkley is likely to miss at least Week 5.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley is considered "week to week" with the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "It’s not considered to be a long-term injury," Rapoport adds. Barkley is a near lock to miss this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars and should be considered iffy for Week 6. With RB Tank Bigsby (core) heading to IR, Will Shipley is the last RB standing on Philadelphia's 53-man roster. RBs Dameon Pierce and Jaydon Blue are on the practice squad. We'll see what moves the Eagles make this week, but Shipley is a good bet to lead the backfield against Jacksonville, making him at least a RB3 or flex option. We'll have more on Shipley in Tuesday's waiver targets article.

Eagles RB Tank Bigsby needs core-muscle surgery for an injury suffered in the Week 4 loss to the Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Bigsby will be placed on IR with the hope that he's back in "six weeks or shorter," per Rapoport. Philadelphia also lost RB Saquon Barkley to a hamstring injury on Sunday. We're still waiting to find out how long he'll be sidelined.

Tank Bigsby took over the Philadelphia backfield Sunday after Saquon Barkley left with a hamstring injury after his second carry. Bigsby carried 14 times for 55 yards (3.9 per rush) in the loss to the Rams. Will Shipley followed with 6 carries for 23 yards (3.8). Each guy finished with no catches on a single target. They played a matching 29 snaps, but Shipley got a slight boost from Bigsby leaving late in the fourth quarter with an apparent groin injury. Shipley took the remaining six plays.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley pulled up with an apparent right leg injury on his second carry against the Rams. Barkley sustained a non-contact injury, pulling up as he reached the sideline. He hopped around keeping weight off the leg and then seemed to be trying to work out the hamstring before leaving with trainers. Barkley was, at least, walking down the sideline under his own power. We'll watch for updates on this situation.

Update: Barkley is questionable to return with a hamstring injury.

Update: Barkley has been ruled out.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley hurt his left shoulder on the first play of Sunday's win over the Titans. He managed to return for 11 more snaps in the second half, but finished the game with just four carries and a catch for 20 total yards. In Barkley's near-absence, Tank Bigsby "led" the Philly rushing with 33 yards on 13 attempts, a sickly 2.5-yard average. Will Shipley followed with seven carries for 24 yards (3.4 per rush). Each guy caught both of his targets for a mere 5 yards apiece. Bigsby contributed the team's lone rushing score.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley said after the win over the Titans that he'll get an MRI on the stinger he suffered on his first carry. Barkley returned for a the start of the second half but had just 3 more carries and 1 catch the rest of the way. RBs Tank Bigsby (13 carries, 2 targets) and Will Shipley (7 carries, 2 targets) split work fairly evenly with Barkley limited. Bigsby came away with 38 yards and a TD to Shipley's 29 yards and would be the better fantasy play if Barkley misses time. We should learn more tomorrow.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley matched his season high with 22 carries in Monday night's win over the Packers. But he averaged just 2.7 yards per rush in totaling 60 yards on the ground, with a quarter of that coming on a 15-yard first half dash. Barkley did add 41 yards on 3 receptions, though it's worth noting that he collected all of that on a single swing pass that produced 41 yards on after-catch space plus a nice spin move. He also lost a 21-yard run in the second quarter to a holding penalty on G Brett Toth. One thing that did change vs. Green Bay: Barkley played his smallest snap share for any healthy game this year.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley exited with a groin injury at the end of the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Giants. He was in obvious discomfort and headed straight to the medical tent. We'll update Barkley's status when we know more. Barkley has having a huge day before exiting, totaling 174 yards and two TDs. His absence leaves Philadelphia with RBs Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley, and A.J. Dillon.
