The Philadelphia Eagles faced another running back injury in Week 6, already dealing with the absence of Saquon Barkley, Tank Bigsby, and Will Shipley. In Sunday’s game, Carson Steele appeared to suffer a shoulder injury in the first half against the Carolina Panthers, marking the fourth simultaneous running back setback for the team.
Reports indicated Steele left the field with his left arm immobile and headed to the locker room after attempting to return to play. Medical updates suggested a shoulder dislocation as a possibility, with Steele’s status uncertain for the remainder of the game. With Steele sidelined, the backup rotation was reduced to Dameon Pierce, a fourth-round pick formerly with Houston, and Jaydon Blue, a former Dallas Cowboys running back.
