Will Shipley injury: Eagles running back questionable to return

The Philadelphia Eagles' backfield took a major setback in London as running back Will Shipley exited Sunday’s game with a foot injury after scoring the team’s first touchdown. The second-year player left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the second quarter, with the team listing him as questionable to return.

Shipley had started the Week 5 match due to Saquon Barkley’s hamstring-related absence and Tank Bigsby’s ongoing injury, further thinning the Eagles’ already limited rushing depth. His departure also leaves a void on special teams, where he contributed beyond the offensive line.

The Eagles had recently promoted Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele from the practice squad to the active roster, but their ability to step in for Shipley remains untested. Meanwhile, the offense showed modest improvement in the passing game early, though the team will need to rely on that support after Shipley’s exit.
