The Philadelphia Eagles issued their first official injury report in advance of their Week 3 home game against the Los Angeles Rams.
The Eagles listed one player under DID NOT PARTICIPATE: Will Shipley.
Shipley hasn’t practiced since suffering a fractured rib injury in Week 1. He’s now officially listed with an “oblique” injury designation. The Eagles opting not to place their backup running back on injured reserve suggests he’ll miss no more than three games … but it looks like he’ll miss at least two. Shipley’s absence means A.J. Dillon could be RB2 behind Saquon Barkley again. Tank Bigsby didn’t play any offensive snaps in his Eagles debut against the Kansas City Chiefs but he could be more incorporated into the offense as he learns the playbook.
The Eagles listed three players under LIMITED PARTICIPATION: Dallas Goedert, Tanner McKee, and Jalen Carter.
Goedert returned to practice after missing all of last week due to a knee injury. The Eagles’ top tight end has a chance to be back on the field this weekend. That would be a welcomed developmental since his backup, Grant Calcaterra, isn’t providing much value to this offense.
McKee was seen throwing footballs last Friday for the first time since suffering a fractured thumb injury late in training camp. He was ruled questionable to play in Week 2 and was ruled inactive … but while being designated as the emergency third quarterback, which means he would’ve entered the game if both Jalen Hurts and Sam Howell got hurt. Seems like McKee might be on track to resume his role as Hurts’ top backup. Howell will go from QB2 to the emergency third quarterback role once McKee is back.
Carter was visibly dealing with an issue during the Eagles’ Week 2 win. He’s listed with a shoulder injury. Guessing the Eagles are managing his workload to help get him to Sunday.
