The Eagles placed Shipley (foot) on injured reserve Friday.
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 currently host 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.

Eagles' Will Shipley: DNP on Thursday
Rotowire
Shipley (foot) didn't practice Thursday.
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.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Shipley (foot) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
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.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Could face multi-week absence
Rotowire
Shipley (foot) was diagnosed with a partial tear of his plantar fascia after exiting Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars in London and could be sidelined multiple weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Called upon to make his second career start with Saquon Barkley (hamstring) out for Week 5 and with Tank Bigsby (core) on injured reserve, Shipley played just 13 snaps and accounted for 13 yards and a touchdown on six touches (five carries, one reception) before leaving the game in the second quarter. After his foot injury was revealed to be a plantar fascia tear, Shipley now appears likely to be sidelined for at least next Sunday's game versus Carolina. Barkley is being viewed as week-to-week, and if both he and Shipley end up missing more time, the Eagles could be left with Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele as well as practice-squad member Jaydon Blue as their backfield options for Week 6.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Won't return to Sunday's game
Rotowire
The Eagles ruled out Shipley (foot) for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Jaguars in London.
With Saquon Barkley (hamstring) ruled out for Week 5 and Tank Bigsby (core) landing on injured reserve, Shipley looked poised to handle a featured role out of the Philadelphia backfield. However, Shipley's day came to an end late in the second quarter, when he sustained a foot injury that will ultimately keep him from returning. The Eagles will finish out the contest with Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele as their main options out of the backfield. Shipley finished with five carries for six yards and a touchdown to go with a seven-yard reception on two targets.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Questionable to return Sunday
Rotowire
Shipley is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Jaguars in London due to a foot injury.
Shipley was dinged up after a carry in the second quarter and visited the medical tent on the Eagles sideline before going to the locker room. He was getting most of the backfield reps in place of an absent Saquon Barkley (hamstring) before his departure, and if Shipley is unable to re-enter Sunday's contest, the Eagles backfield likely will be paced by Dameon Pierce. Carson Steele is also on hand for reps.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Philly's top RB for Week 5
Rotowire
Shipley will lead the Eagles' backfield against the Jaguars on Week 5 due to the absences of both Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (abdomen, IR), Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.
Barkley and Bigsby both sustained injuries during the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Rams, and with both running backs sidelined for Week 5, the Eagles will turn to Shipley to handle RB1 duties while Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele provide backfield depth. Shipley is averaging 3.4 yards per carry though four games this season, and his work will be cut out for him against a Jaguars defense that allows the third-fewest rushing yards in the NFL (74.3).

Eagles' Will Shipley: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Shipley is the last running back left on the Titanic -- I mean the Eagles -- after Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) are expected to miss several weeks. Philadelphia is falling apart due to injury, with six of 11 starters expected to be out in Week 5 against Jacksonville in London (Barkley, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, Lane Johnson, Cam Jurgens and Landon Dickerson). That doesn't bode well for Shipley, and the Jaguars have allowed the fewest rushing yards in the NFL this season. That said, Shipley is headed for a big role, and he could have the starting job for easier matchups in Week 6 against Carolina and Week 7 against Dallas. He has flex appeal even in a terrible situation, and Shipley should be added in all leagues for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAAB. Just keep an eye on Philadelphia adding another running back or two with Barkley and Bigsby both out.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Team's other two RBs hurt Week 4
Rotowire
Shipley rushed six times for 23 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams. He also returned three kickoffs for 65 yards.
Shipley was the last man standing in Philadelphia's backfield after Saquon Barkley (hamstring) exited in the first quarter and Tank Bigsby (undisclosed) left in the fourth quarter. Bigsby had been working ahead of Shipley after Barkley's exit, but if neither of Philadelphia's top two running backs are available in Week 5, Shipley could take on the lead role against the Jaguars in London.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Avoids injury designation for Week 4
Rotowire
Shipley (foot) practiced in full on Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams.
Shipley has been battling a foot injury. He didn't practice Wednesday and was limited Thursday. However, after logging a full session Friday, the 24-year-old is good to go for the Week 4 meeting with Los Angeles. Shipley is second on the team in snaps at the running back position behind Saquon Barkley, though he hasn't done much, amassing 28 yards off nine carries throughout the first three weeks of the 2026 campaign.

Eagles' Will Shipley: DNP Wednesday
Rotowire
Shipley (foot) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Shipley ended Week 3 prep with back-to-back limited practices and had no injury designation heading into the Eagles' 27-7 loss to the Bears on Monday Night Football. Shipley's downgrade to a non-participant in Wednesday's session could be precautionary or could imply that the running back aggravated the issue during Monday's game.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Upgrades to limited Friday
Rotowire
Shipley (foot) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
Shipley missed Thursday's practice with a foot injury he likely suffered in Sunday's win over the Titans. The running back has quickly improved his participation, a good sign for the 24-year-old's availability for Monday night's game against the Bears.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Misses practice Thursday
Rotowire
Shipley (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday.
The running back is apparently dealing with a foot injury as the practice week begins for Philadelphia. Shipley carried the ball seven times for 24 yards and caught two passes for five yards in the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Titans last Sunday, seeing an expanded role with Saquon Barkley on the bench for much of the game. Barkley (shoulder) was limited Thursday, and Shipley could play a bigger role again if the starter can't go this coming Monday at Chicago, but that will depend on the Clemson product's status.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Elevated role after Barkley injury
Rotowire
Shipley turned seven carries into 24 yards and caught both of his targets for five yards during the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Both Shipley and Tank Bigsby operated in larger roles in the Eagles' backfield after Saquon Barkley left in the first quarter due to a shoulder stinger. During that time that Barkley was off the field, Shipley operated as the clear RB2 behind Bigsby, with his seven carries being his most in a game since 2024. If Barkley is not cleared to play in Week 3, Shipley would split the backfield workload with Bigsby.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Step back in second season
Rotowire
Shipley finished his second professional season with 14 carries for 49 yards and added nine receptions for 56 yards in 15 regular-season games.
While Shipley played nearly twice as many offensive snaps as he did as a rookie, his total touches dropped from 34 to 23. The 2024 fifth-round pick doesn't appear to be viewed as anything other than a depth option by the Eagles, as the team acquired Tank Bigsby from the Jaguars after Week 2 to serve as Saquon Barkley's primary backup.

Eagles' Will Shipley: No offensive touches in blowout win
Rotowire
Shipley did not receive a carry or a target in Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders.
The Eagles went up by 31 points on the first play of the fourth quarter, a situation which usually leads to some garbage-time touches for running backs lower on the depth chart. In this case, those all went to Tank Bigsby, who had 27 offensive snaps to Shipley's three and 17 carries to Shipley's zero.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Zero touches against Lions
Rotowire
Shipley went without a carry or target while playing seven of the Eagles' 72 snaps on offense in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.
One week after Shipley touched the ball a season-high six times on offense, he went an entire game without any usage, something that's happened on two other occasions already this season. The Eagles leaned heavily on starter Saquon Barkley in the win, as fellow reserve back Tank Bigsby played just one more snap than Shipley.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Season-high six touches
Rotowire
Shipley rushed four times for 17 yards and caught a pair of passes for 17 more yards in Monday's win over the Packers.
Both Shipley's carries and catches represented season highs, but the overall picture was still quite a minor role for Shipley. He did at least see the field for 12 offensive snaps (another season high and four more than Tank Bigsby managed), but his pathway to becoming a significant part of the Eagles' offense is hard to envision as long as Saquon Barkley remains healthy.

Shipley saw the field for just three offensive snaps in Thursday's loss to the Giants.
Shipley hasn't been a significant part of the offense at any point this season for the Eagles, but Thursday represented his season-low snap count. He did not touch the ball on offense but did return one kick for 22 yards.

Eagles' Will Shipley: Limited action in return
Rotowire
Shipley played just three snaps on offense and didn't record a carry or draw a target in Sunday's 31-25 win over the Buccaneers.
Shipley was back in action after missing the previous two games due to an oblique injury, but his role was almost exclusively limited to special teams, where he was featured as a kick returner. AJ Dillon (three carries for 17 yards) ended up serving as the No. 2 back behind Saquon Barkley.
