- Will Shipley scored his first career touchdown before exiting late in the first quarter with a foot injury during Philadelphia's 19-17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Sunday.
- Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) were already sidelined, leaving Shipley as the starting running back against Jacksonville.
- Dameon Pierce assumed primary running back duties after Shipley's exit, with Carson Steele serving as his backup for the remainder of the game.
- Shipley had appeared on last week's injury report with a foot issue but was not listed on the practice report during the week leading up to the London game.
- Defensive back Michael Carter II (abdomen) was also ruled out, while edge rusher Jalyx Hunt (ankle/knee) and guard Tyler Steen (shoulder) also left the game.
- Philadelphia entered the game without several starters, including wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Hollywood Brown, edge Jonathan Greenard, center Drew Kendall, and safety Marcus Epps.
Why it matters: The Eagles now head into their next game with Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele as the only healthy running backs, compounding a season-long injury crisis that already cost them Barkley, two starting wideouts, and multiple defensive contributors — leaving Philadelphia extremely thin at multiple positions heading into the heart of the schedule.
