Eagles RB Tank Bigsby suffered an injury on Sunday and now requires core muscle surgery to repair it, sources say. Bigsby is headed to Injured Reserve, with hopes he’s back in six weeks or shorter.

Fantasy Impact:
It's bad timing for the Eagles who are getting crushed by injuries. We reported just earlier today that while many were saying Bigsby will be a top pickup this week, he did leave Week 4's game and didn't return - we finally know why. That leaves the Eagles with Shipley, who is likely to see a bulk of the work - perhaps especially in the passing game. The Eagles have Blue and Pierce on their practice squad, who obviously have NFL experience and both may get moved to the active roster. Or the team could bring in another back. It will be worth monitoring over the next couple of days as the Birds will have to make some kind of move at the running back position. The team will play the Jags in London in Week 5.
