Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby to undergo surgery and head to injured reserve

The Philadelphia Eagles are facing significant personnel challenges in their backfield following a difficult Sunday outing. Running back Tank Bigsby has been ruled out for the immediate future after sustaining a core muscle injury during the team's latest contest, an issue that will require surgical intervention.

According to reports, Bigsby is expected to be placed on injured reserve as he begins his recovery process. While the injury is serious enough to necessitate surgery, there is optimism within the organization that the running back could return to the field in six weeks or less.

Head coach Nick Sirianni addressed the media on Monday regarding the team's outlook ahead of their upcoming international fixture. When questioned about Barkley’s availability for the Eagles' scheduled matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London this Sunday, Sirianni offered a cautious assessment, stating only that the team would wait and see how the situation develops.

The dual injury concerns leave the Eagles' depth chart in a state of flux as they prepare for their trip to the United Kingdom. With Bigsby confirmed for surgery and Barkley’s status remaining uncertain, the coaching staff will likely need to evaluate their remaining options to ensure they are prepared for the challenges posed by the Jaguars.
