Eagles RB Tank Bigsby to Have Surgery on a Core Muscle Injury
Tank Bigsby is expected to miss about six weeks after core muscle surgery, leaving the Eagles with one healthy running back on the active roster.
- On Monday, Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby underwent core muscle surgery and was placed on Injured Reserve following an injury sustained during Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
- During the loss to the Rams, starting running back Saquon Barkley exited early with a hamstring issue, forcing Bigsby into expanded duty with 14 carries for 54 yards before his injury.
- With Bigsby now sidelined, Will Shipley is the only healthy running back on the active roster; head coach Nick Sirianni declined to provide an update on Barkley's status for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- The Eagles may elevate veteran running backs Dameon Pierce, Carson Steele, or Jaydon Blue from the practice squad to the 53-man roster this week depending on Barkley's availability.
- Reports suggest Bigsby could return in six weeks following the procedure at the Philadelphia-based Vincera Institute, though the Eagles face immediate depth challenges heading to London.
