Eagles signed FB Carson Steele to a reserve/futures contract.Steele hung on the Chiefs practice squad for most of last season and will now get a chance to stick in Philadelphia. With Will Shipley and Tank Bigsby under contract, it's hard to see Steele making any sort of fantasy noise without injuries ahead of him.
Will Shipley caught a six-yard pass in the Eagles' Wild Card loss to the 49ers.Shipley was the Eagles' clear No. 3 back in what ended up a season-ending loss. Originally ticketed for No. 2 duties this season, Shipley's insurance back life grew more complicated when Tank Bigsby arrived in a Week 2 trade. Although the move seemed to have as much to do with Bigsby's special teams prowess as anything else, Shipley ended up getting out-touched 61-23 behind Saquon Barkley. Heading into the third year of his rookie contract, Shipley is still only 23 years old, but his dynasty league future is not looking particularly bright.
Tank Bigsby rushed four times for 19 yards in the Eagles' Wild Card loss to the 49ers.Bigsby was not targeted in the passing game. Surprisingly acquired from the Jags following Week 1, Bigsby ended up easily surpassing Will Shipley as the Eagles' No. 2 back, but it amounted to only 61 offensive touches. Bigsby did feature on special teams, but neither he nor Shipley made much of an impression behind Saquon Barkley. The Eagles' No. 1 back isn't going anywhere for 2026, but they might think about an upgrade in the No. 2 spot. Bigsby, who turns 24 in August, is heading into the final year of his rookie deal.
