Eagles' Will Shipley Could Miss Multiple Weeks With Serious Injury

Philadelphia Eagles RB Will Shipley suffered a partial tear of his plantar fascia during Sunday’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Shipley could miss multiple weeks. 

Here is a look at the Eagles' RB room heading into Week 6:

Saquon Barkley (hamstring)

Tank Bigsby (core)

Will Shipley (plantar fascia)

Dameon Pierce

Carson Steele

Jaydon Blue (practice squad)

Shipley has 57 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown this season. Barkley didn't play against the Jaguars in London. It's unknown when the star RB will return to the Eagles' lineup. 

The Eagles should have defeated the Jaguars in London.  

However, Nick Sirianni made a foolish mistake. 

Philadelphia went up 17-16 with eight seconds left in regulation thanks to a 48-yard Jake Elliott field goal, but on the ensuing kickoff, the Eagles kicked the ball to Ameer Abdullah, keeping it in play instead of trying for the touchback.

Abdullah returned it 53 yards to set up a game-winning 57-yard Cam Little field goal as time expired, dropping Philadelphia to 2-3.

"I didn't make the right decision, and I lost us that game, and that's what I said to our guys," Sirianni said. "What hurts there is the guys fought so hard, and then I don't make the decision that I should make at the end of the game and I cost us that game, and I put that one on me."

This is the first game (regular season or playoffs) to feature two go-ahead field goals in the final 10 seconds of regulation in the Super Bowl era (since 1966).

The moments leading up to Elliott's kick came under scrutiny as well. The Eagles attempted passes on first and second downs with under 30 seconds to play, stopping the clock. They ran it on third down, and the Jaguars called their final timeout with 12 seconds remaining.

Sirianni indicated he didn't want to have quarterback Jalen Hurts burn the clock on third down by running around before taking a knee because such plays typically result in negative yards, and in this case, it could have pushed the Eagles out of field goal range.

"Honestly, there was so little time for me to kind of gather myself between [the field goal and the kickoff], I just went out and did what I was told and wish it obviously turned out better," Elliott said. "It sucks. You come all this way and you think you're in the driver's seat to win a big game, and now we're feeling pretty down."

The Eagles started the season 2-0. They beat the Washington Commanders in Week 1 and defeated the Tennessee Titans in Week 2.

Philadelphia has lost three games in a row since then. 

Sirianni and Co. lost to the Chicago Bears in Week 3, the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4 and the Jaguars in Week 5. 

"It hurts in the sense of the guys fought their ass off and had a chance to win the game. And then for me to not make the right decision in that, you feel like you let everyone down," Sirianni said. "That will stick with me for a long time. All I know is I'll work my butt off to get better from it."

The Eagles host the Carolina Panthers in Week 6. If Philadelphia loses that game at home, the team will get heavily booed by the  Lincoln Financial Field crowd and Sirianni could get fired. 

After winning Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Eagles have been up and down. While they went 11-6 last season and won the NFC East again, Philadelphia lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the wild-card round and A.J. Brown had a heated moment with Sirianni on the sideline. 

The Eagles traded Brown to the New England Patriots in the offseason, hoping that getting rid of that huge distraction would fix the offense's struggles. Narrator: It didn't. 

Hurts and Co. are averaging just 18.4 points per game. That's 29th in the NFL. Hurts has 933 passing yards, eight passing touchdowns and three interceptions this season. He's completing only 57.8% of his passes.
