Tank Bigsby injury: Eagles running back to injured reserve
Bleeding Green Nation • • sports
Key Points:
- The Philadelphia Eagles have placed running back Tank Bigsby on injured reserve due to a core muscle injury requiring surgery, with an expected recovery time of six weeks or less.
- Bigsby's injury worsened during the Week 4 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and he saw increased playing time after Saquon Barkley suffered a hamstring injury early in that game.
- With both Bigsby and Barkley potentially unavailable for Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Eagles may be left with only Will Shipley as an active running back.
- The Eagles have three running backs on their practice squad—Dameon Pierce, Carson Steele, and Jaydon Blue—with Pierce likely to be promoted to the active roster to bolster depth.
- The loss of key running backs raises concerns about the Eagles' offensive capabilities moving forward, given their current injury challenges.
