The Eagles ruled out Shipley (foot) for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Jaguars in London.
With Saquon Barkley (hamstring) ruled out for Week 5 and Tank Bigsby (core) landing on injured reserve, Shipley looked poised to handle a featured role out of the Philadelphia backfield. However, Shipley's day came to an end late in the second quarter, when he sustained a foot injury that will ultimately keep him from returning. The Eagles will finish out the contest with Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele as their main options out of the backfield. Shipley finished with five carries for six yards and a touchdown to go with a seven-yard reception on two targets.
Shipley is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Jaguars in London due to a foot injury.
Shipley was dinged up after a carry in the second quarter and visited the medical tent on the Eagles sideline before going to the locker room. He was getting most of the backfield reps in place of an absent Saquon Barkley (hamstring) before his departure, and if Shipley is unable to re-enter Sunday's contest, the Eagles backfield likely will be paced by Dameon Pierce. Carson Steele is also on hand for reps.
Everyone sharing the ball with Will, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
Shipley is slated to lead the Eagles backfield against the Jaguars in Week 5 due to the absences of both Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (abdomen, IR), Chris McPherson of the Eagles' official site reports.
Barkley and Bigsby both sustained injuries during the Eagles' Week 4 loss to the Rams, and with both running backs sidelined for Week 5, the Eagles may turn to Shipley to handle RB1 duties while Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele provide backfield depth. Shipley is averaging 3.4 yards per carry though four games this season, and his work will be cut out for him against a Jaguars defense that allows the third-fewest rushing yards per game in the NFL (74.3).
Shipley rushed six times for 23 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Rams. He also returned three kickoffs for 65 yards.
Shipley was the last man standing in Philadelphia's backfield after Saquon Barkley (hamstring) exited in the first quarter and Tank Bigsby (undisclosed) left in the fourth quarter. Bigsby had been working ahead of Shipley after Barkley's exit, but if neither of Philadelphia's top two running backs are available in Week 5, Shipley could take on the lead role against the Jaguars in London.
Shipley (foot) was a limited participant in Saturday's practice but does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Bears.
Shipley ended the week with back-to-back limited practices while working through a foot injury, but he's been officially cleared to play for MNF. Saquon Barkley (shoulder) and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) have also been cleared to play, so Shipley will serve as the Eagles' third option out of the backfield.

With Kenneth Gainwell signing with the Steelers in March, Jimmy Kepski of the Philly Voice believes Shipley has the tools and skillset to step up as the Eagles' No. 2 running back behind Saquon Barkley heading into the 2025 season.
Shipley, the Eagles' fourth-round pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, was mostly limited to garbage time in blowout wins. He finished the 2024 regular season with 30 carries for 82 yards and four catches on as many targets for 35 yards across 16 games. With Gainwell leaving in free agency and Barkley having 480 touches across 20 games -- including playoffs -- last season, Kepski believes Shipley will be utilized far more often in the Eagles' offense during the 2025 campaign while veteran AJ Dillon serves as the bruising RB3.
