Philadelphia lost both Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby last week, followed by Will Shipley in the first half of this week's game.
Barkley has played 71. 4% of snaps in the two games he was healthy, with Bigsby serving as the backup on early downs and at the goal line, while Shipley has been the backup on third downs and the primary two-minute drill back. In the two games Barkley left early, Bigsby served as the primary early-down and short-yardage back. Last week, Barkley played just four snaps before leaving with a hamstring injury and was inactive for this game. Bigsby left late in last week's game and is now on injured reserve, sidelining him for this game and at least three more. In response, the Eagles signed Dameon Pierce from their practice squad on Wednesday and Carson Steele from their practice squad on Friday, while leaving Jaydon Blue on the practice squad. Shipley played the first nine snaps of the game across the opening two drives. On the third drive, Pierce took the first 11 snaps before Shipley closed out the possession with a rushing touchdown. Shipley suffered a foot injury on the first play of the fourth drive. He was initially listed as questionable to return but was ruled out early in the third quarter. That left Pierce as Philadelphia's lead running back for the remainder of the game. Unless we hear positive news on Barkley or Shipley, Pierce should be a popular waiver-wire target. The Eagles didn't have much success running the ball this week, but they have a more favorable matchup next week against the Carolina Panthers.
