Will Shipley

Don't know yet, that was the first update I found after days of looking. Hopefully it's not season ending as he probably would have been placed on IR already if that's the case, but we should know more in the next couple of days. The Eagles also called up a running back from their practice squad in addition to trading for Bigsby so it's hard to be optimistic.

Would this be a short term IR or season-ending?

This might be the same source that Don used, but it sounds long-term to me.

Horrible luck… after all the positive press all summer and how explosive he looked while in the first game….

I fear this will negate any positive momentum he had. I’ve said many times, white running backs get zero leash… one mistake (Laube fumbled his first carry or Steele with two and then relegated to the doghouse and then not making the roster this year) or injury and the opportunity is gone.

Shipley was at least present at practice today. He most likely will miss this week's game and maybe more but it looks like the worst-case scenario of season ending IR may not happen. From Weenieworld:

Will Shipley (ribs) did not practice on Thursday. He was present at practice but did not participate. Even if he is questionable and practices on Friday, it feels likely that the Eagles will shift some workload off his plate with the addition of Tank Bigsby. Shipley is not the miracle desperation FLEX you’re looking for in Week 2.
