Overview
- Will Shipley was placed on injured reserve on Friday, Oct. 16, and the team says he will miss at least four games after what reports describe as a partial tear of his plantar fascia.
- Saquon Barkley was officially ruled out for Week 6 with a lingering hamstring issue and quarterback Jalen Hurts was also ruled out with a superficial blood clot, creating multiple immediate absences.
- With Barkley, Tank Bigsby (already on IR) and Shipley unavailable, Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele are the only healthy running backs on the active roster for Sunday’s game.
- The Eagles freed a roster spot to sign quarterback Joe Milton III from the Dallas Cowboys’ practice squad and have practice‑squad backs Jaydon Blue and Ian Wheeler as short-term depth options.
- The losses force Philadelphia to alter its game plan, push younger players into larger roles, and could shape personnel decisions ahead of the trade-deadline window later this season.
