Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby will be placed on injured reserve following a core muscle injury suffered during Sunday's contest. According to reports from NFL Network, the injury is significant enough to require surgical intervention, which will sideline the player for an extended period.

The news compounds existing concerns regarding the Eagles' depth at the running back position. Reports indicate that Saquon Barkley is also dealing with an injury, though specific details regarding the severity or expected recovery timeline for Barkley remain limited at this time. The team has not yet issued an official statement regarding the roster moves or the specific status of either player, but the move to place Bigsby on injured reserve is expected to be finalized shortly.

As the Eagles prepare for upcoming games, the loss of Bigsby and the uncertainty surrounding Barkley's health present a challenge for the team's offensive rotation. Coaching staff will likely need to adjust their game plan to account for the reduced availability in the backfield. Further updates on the recovery timelines for both athletes are expected as they undergo medical evaluations.
