The Eagles had not provided a diagnosis during his brief absence.

Overview

  • He exited in the fourth quarter after a hard hit to his leg and limped to the sideline.
  • He was evaluated on the bench, rode a stationary bike, and tried to jog, with Fox’s Erin Andrews reporting he told trainers he was good to go.
  • Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley took over backfield snaps while he was out.
  • He re-entered with 2:30 remaining after San Francisco took a 23-19 lead.
  • No official injury detail had been announced at that point, and he had 26 carries for 106 yards plus a 20-yard reception when he first left.
