He’ll miss at least the next four weeks. Shipley was diagnosed with a partially torn plantar fascia and was set to miss multiple weeks per reporting, so this makes sense. By the time he comes back, Saquon Barkley should be healthy, so he’s not a must-keep in short-bench leagues.

The Eagles’ running backs room continues to take hits. After losing Tank Bigsby (core) last week to a multi-week injury, the team is now preparing to be without Shipley for multiple weeks. Saquon Barkley, who missed Week 5 with a hamstring injury, could be back as early as Week 6 against the Panthers, but if he’s unable to play, the Eagles could be looking at Dameon Pierce and Jaydon Blue as their top two backs. Shipley totaled 13 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on six touches before going down yesterday.

Shipley suffered the foot injury in the second quarter and was initially listed as questionable to return. He will now miss the remainder of the contest. Dameon Pierce is the only other running back on the roster with a touch today. Carson Steele is also active.

Shipley got stuffed on a carry in the second quarter and was checked out by trainers after the play. He went to the locker room after a brief trip to the blue medical tent. Dameon Pierce will be the next man up if Shipley’s day is over. Carson Steele is the only other back on the roster.

Shipley was the carries understudy to Tank Bigsby after Saquon Barkley suffered a hamstring injury on the game’s second series, though they played a near-even amount of snaps. Bigsby, who himself has been nursing an abdomen issue, was also banged up late. Needless to say, this is a backfield that is going to require many updates between now and Week 5. Hopefully we have a little clarity before waivers bids are due overnight Tuesday into Wednesday. Even if Bigsby is declared fine, Shipley is certainly worth an addition.

It’s a surprising twist after Shipley missed both of the first two practices of the week; he got in a full session today and seems likely to be more involved as a pass-catcher with DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert down. Even with that, he’ll struggle to find FLEX value against the Rams.

Shipley is unlikely to be meaningfully involved if he ends up being active on Sunday. The Eagles’ RB3 is firmly in the questionable camp though.

Shipley was limited by his foot issue in Week 3, and received just two targets in the passing game with no carries. With Tank Bigsby a full-go during Wednesday’s estimated session, Shipley is looking at a limited amount of touches even if he can go in Week 4.

Shipley now has a chance to suit up on Monday night against the Bears. With starting RB Saquon Barkley (stinger) and RB2 Tank Bigsby (abdomen) also practicing, Shipley may not get any work, even if he is active.

Shipley totaled nine touches last week, with RB Saquon Barkley dealing with a stinger. Apparently, he picked up a foot injury along the way. Shipley does not need to be rostered in 12-team leagues.

Shipley was the Eagles’ clear No. 3 back in what ended up a season-ending loss. Originally ticketed for No. 2 duties this season, Shipley’s insurance back life grew more complicated when Tank Bigsby arrived in a Week 2 trade. Although the move seemed to have as much to do with Bigsby’s special teams prowess as anything else, Shipley ended up getting out-touched 61-23 behind Saquon Barkley. Heading into the third year of his rookie contract, Shipley is still only 23 years old, but his dynasty league future is not looking particularly bright.

Shipley played behind Tank Bigsby after Saquon Barkley left the game with a groin injury. Bigsby ran for 104 yards on nine rushing attempts, most of that production coming in the fourth quarter. Perhaps Shipley can be rostered in some deeper leagues but it would appear Bigsby will be the team’s lead back if Barkley misses any time. The Eagles have a bye next week.

He didn’t manage a single rush attempt, but outsnapped Tank Bigsby 8-4 behind Saquon Barkley with A.J. Dillon a healthy scratch. There’s no stand-alone value here, but Shipley is a fine hold in deeper leagues.

Shipley should resume No. 2 running back duties and can be stashed as a high-upside player in re-draft formats. Stud RT Lane Johnson (stinger) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday. The Eagles lost star OLB Nolan Smith (triceps) to injured reserve earlier this week. He will be eligible to return after missing four games. They got good news on LB Zack Baun (knee), LB Jihaad Campbell (triceps) and backup QB Tanner McKee (right thumb), though. All three are good to go. Unfortunately, CB Adoree’ Jackson (groin) is doubtful.

Shipley was a full participant for the first time since injuring his oblique in the season opener. He had three carries for 26 yards against the Cowboys in Week 1 and profiles as Saquon Barkley’s primary backup. He is back on fantasy radars as a valuable handcuff as the Eagles play the Bucs in Week 4.

Shipley got in back-to-back limited practices. so he’ll likely be a candidate to return in Week 4. Once Shipley is healthy, we expect him to assume the main RB2 role behind Saquon Barkley. It might start with a week of everyone sharing duties though while the Eagles make sure Shipley is fully good to go.

Shipley still seems like a long shot to play in Week 3 against the Rams, but his return to practice is certainly positive. The Eagles traded for Tank Bigsby after Shipley was injured, so although Shipley may ultimately return to the No. 2 running back role, but things are a bit more crowded than when he left. He can be speculatively stashed on benches in 12-team leagues, though rostering him should not be considered necessary.

The good news is, Shipley avoided landing on injured reserve last week. The bad news is, he remains sidelined. The team continues to refer to his injury as an oblique issue but reports suggest that suffered fractured ribs. A.J. Dillon out-touched Tank Bigsby three-to-zero in Week 2, operating in the primary backup role behind Saquon Barkley.

Shipley didn’t practice all week with his “oblique” injury (reports are that he is dealing with fractured ribs) and is a candidate to be placed on injured reserve on Saturday. Tank Bigsby will take Shipley’s role in the offense, although it is possible that AJ Dillon gets more snaps as the Eagles figure out how they want to implement the newly-acquired Bigsby.

He was present at practice but did not participate. Even if he is questionable and practices on Friday, it feels likely that the Eagles will shift some workload off his plate with the addition of Tank Bigsby. Shipley is not the miracle desperation FLEX you’re looking for in Week 2.
