Will ShipleyRB3change of pace1% rostered · free long shotChange-of-pace third back and special-teams contributor who was the designated spell option behind Barkley until ribs knocked him out of the opener. The Bigsby trade had already pushed him down the pecking order.
Injury history: 2026: suffered a rib injury just before halftime of the season opener against Dallas and did not return, after picking up 26 yards on three carries. Otherwise a quiet, mostly available first two seasons.

Tank Bigsby is listed RB2 on the Philadelphia Eagles depth chart behind Saquon Barkley (Questionable). Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Saquon Barkley: Questionable (espn_rosters)
Scouting: Acquired from Jacksonville for fifth- and sixth-round picks specifically as Barkley insurance. Efficient, physical downhill runner with proven lead-back production — widely rated a league-winning handcuff who would take a full early-down workload behind this offensive line.
Starter injury history: Durable across three Philadelphia seasons - a 2,000-yard 2024 and 280 carries in 2025 with no multi-game absence; a groin issue that removed him from the Oct 26, 2025 Giants blowout cost him no games. Sept 20, 2026 vs TEN (date-only report): left-arm stinger on the game's first offensive play on a Jeffery Simmons tackle; he returned in the 3rd quarter and the Eagles scheduled a postgame MRI.
Analyst write-up pending; deterministic pick shown.
Next up behind D'Andre Swift; depth chart RB2.
Rest of the stableRoschon Johnson (RB3)ExpandCollapse
Roschon JohnsonRB3goal line0% rostered · free long shotShort-yardage and goal-line specialist and a reliable pass protector, which keeps him on the roster. Limited as a between-the-tackles volume runner; Chicago would turn to Monangai, not Johnson, for the lead role.
Injury history: Has missed games in multiple seasons since 2023 with concussion and assorted issues; no single long absence in the last three years but rarely a full slate.

Kyle Monangai is listed RB2 on the Chicago Bears depth chart behind D'Andre Swift. Deterministic pick; the model overview was unavailable.
Backfield news: Brittain Brown: Out (espn_rosters)
Scouting: Tough, compact second-year back who won the RB2 job outright and is the clear next man up in Chicago. Would carry a real early-down and short-yardage load if Swift missed time, with the knee the only near-term question.
Starter injury history: 2025: appeared in and started 16 games, no injury absence — career year with 1,087 rush yds on 223 carries (4.9), 34 catches, 10 total TD. 2026 camp: left one practice with what was reported as a cramp, not a core injury, and returned to practice in early September.
