The Philadelphia Eagles have had little to no luck with running back injuries and have placed yet another running back on injured reserve — this time a critical backup to starter Saquon Barkley.
“The Eagles placed Dameon Pierce on IR. He’s the third RB to go on IR this season,” The Athletic’s Zach Berman wrote on his official X account on Wednesday. “They signed Jaydon Blue to the 53. They signed G Evan Beerntsen, WR Quentin Skinner, and DB Shaun Wade to the practice squad.”
“Eagles have placed RB Dameon Pierce on injured reserve and signed RB Jaydon Blue to their active roster,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter wrote on his official X account on Wednesday.
Pierce had 14 carries for 47 yards and 1 touchdown in a 38-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 7, when he was pressed into more usage with Barkley hobbled with a hamstring injury.
“Eagles have had six different players get snaps at RB,” The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane wrote on X. “Could be more this Sunday vs. Washington. The six (snaps in parentheses): Dameon Pierce (151), Will Shipley (104), Saquon Barkley (101), Tank Bigsby (63), Elijah Mitchell (14), Carson Steele (3).”
