“Let Him Sit Out the Rest of the Season”: Fans React As Eagles RB Ruled Out After Foot Injury in First Half vs Jaguars
The injury bug has hit the Philadelphia Eagles hard, especially in the running back room, as star RB Saquon Barkley is missing the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. During the game, the Eagles got even more bad news, as running back Will Shipley also got injured, this time on his foot.
Philadelphia Eagles faced a double blow to their running backs unit as star player Saquon Barkley and backup Will Shipley both suffered injuries during the first half of their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Initially listed as questionable, Shipley's injury was upgraded to out, leaving the Eagles without three of their top running backs.
Fans reacted with mixed emotions, with some calling for Shipley to sit out the remainder of the season while others remained hopeful that the team could find a solution. With Barkley out due to a hamstring injury and Tank Bigsby sidelined with an abdominal injury, the Eagles now have two remaining running backs: Dameon Pierce and newly signed Carson Steele.
Both players have been playing rotational roles since Shipley's injury, and either one could potentially step up to fill the void in the Eagles' backfield.
