Eagles RBs Injured: Bigsby Out 6 Weeks, Barkley Hamstring Concern
6 Oct
Summary
- Running back Tank Bigsby requires surgery and will miss approximately six weeks.
- Saquon Barkley sustained a hamstring injury, his return status is undetermined.
- The Eagles roster has limited healthy running backs available for upcoming games.
The Philadelphia Eagles are grappling with significant injuries to their running back corps following Sunday's 24-20 defeat. Running back Tank Bigsby will undergo core muscle surgery, a procedure expected to sideline him for approximately six weeks. This injury will likely necessitate his placement on injured reserve to facilitate his recovery.
Adding to the team's concerns, Saquon Barkley suffered a hamstring injury during the same game. Head coach Nick Sirianni indicated on Monday that Barkley's status for the Week 5 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London remains undecided. With Bigsby out and Barkley's status uncertain, the Eagles' depth at running back is severely tested.
