Jaydon Blue Fantasy Overview

The Eagles announced Wednesday that RB Dameon Pierce has landed on IR, but they still have yet to disclose the injury that knocked him out of Monday night's loss to Dallas late. The team also announced that it has elevated RB Jaydon Blue from the practice squad to the active roster.

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.

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.

The Eagles signed RB Jaydon Blue to their practice squad. The Cowboys cut Blue on Sunday, and he cleared waivers unclaimed.
