Carson Steele Fantasy Overview

Eagles RB Will Shipley could miss "multiple weeks" after suffering a partial tear of his plantar fascia during Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Philadelphia is now dealing with injuries to its top 3 RBs. Saquon Barkley is working back from a hamstring injury and is uncertain for Week 6. Tank Bigsby is out at least 3 more games with his core injury. Shipley's absence left Dameon Pierce in an every-down role against Jacksonville. Carson Steele was active but didn't play a single offensive snap. Jaydon Blue remains on the Eagles' practice squad. We'll see if Barkley can make it back for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers, but we could be looking at a heavy workload for Pierce.

Eagles RB Will Shipley is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars due to a foot injury. He carried 5 times for 6 yards and a TD before exiting, adding 7 more yards on his lone reception. Shipley's absence leaves Philadelphia down to RBs Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele.

Update: Shipley has been ruled out.

Eagles RB Saquon Barkley (hamstring) is out for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Jaguars in London. He didn’t practice all week and could miss more time beyond Week 5. Barkley’s absence leaves Will Shipley as Philadelphia’s likely lead back. But RB Dameon Pierce might also be involved, and this week’s matchup is tough against Jacksonville’s seventh-ranked RB defense.

Update: The Eagles also elevated RB Carson Steele from the practice squad on Friday.

Former 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell has signed a one-year deal worth up to $3.5 million with the Kansas City Chiefs. Mitchell becomes the probable back-up to Isiah Pacheco with only he and Carson Steele currently under contract. It is potentially good news for Pacheco as the Chiefs may be looking more for insurance for him than replacing him as the starter.
