The Eagles placed Shipley (foot) on injured reserve Friday.

After being diagnosed with a partial tear of his plantar fascia earlier this week, Shipley was slated for a multi-week absence, and he now will miss at least the next four games while on IR. He'll join Tank Bigsby (abdomen) on the list, and with Saquon Barkley currently tending to a lingering hamstring injury, the Eagles currently host just two healthy RBs (Dameon Pierce and Carson Steele) on the active roster. Shipley's next chance for game action is Sunday, Nov. 22 against the Steelers.

Jacobs (personal) will be removed from the Commissioner's Exempt List on Monday and be eligible to play as soon as the Packers' Week 7 game at Detroit, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Jacobs' playing status has been in limbo since his May arrest following a domestic incident that led to the running back pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property in early September. He since has missed the first five games of the season and will miss a sixth contest Sunday, and while he'll be able to practice next week and make his 2026 debut on Sunday, Oct. 25, the NFL will keep its investigation of Jacobs open, reserving the right to add further discipline if new information comes to light, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Dowdle (toe) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after being a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday.

Steelers offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio said Monday that he was expecting Dowdle to return this week. The team isn't ready to commit to it, but back-to-back full practices suggest he's ready to play unless there's a last-minute setback. Steelers coach Mike McCarthy told reporters that Jaylen Warren has earned a larger role even when Dowdle is healthy, which means the two RBs won't alternate drive sin a 50/50 split the way they did at the beginning of the season. Pittsburgh's inactive list will be posted at 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday.

Monangai (thumb/toe) was ruled out for Sunday's game in Atlanta.

Monangai is tending to a turf toe injury that now will force a second absence in a row. With Monangai on the sidelines, Roschon Johnson will serve as the complementary RB behind starter D'Andre Swift, but such a role equated to 10 touches for 40 yards from scrimmage for the former in last Sunday's loss at Green Bay. Meanwhile, Monangai's next chance for game action is next Thursday against the Patriots.

Monangai (toe), per head coach Ben Johnson, remains week-to-week but is "trending in the right direction" and will avoid injured reserve, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Johnson's comments suggest Monangai could miss more time, but they also indicate he is not facing an extended absence. His status for Sunday's matchup with the Falcons will officially be revealed when the Bears release their final injury report of the week later Friday.

Love (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Love thus will miss the first game of his career due to the ankle injury that has bothered him in recent weeks. So far, the third overall pick in this year's draft is sitting on 3.7 yards per carry and has been targeted just 14 times through five contests. Head coach Mike LaFleur noted to Urban on Friday that Love will be used more in the passing game once he's able to adequately make cuts, which requires his current health concern to be a thing of the past.

Kamara (back) practiced on a limited basis Friday is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

Kamara was limited at practice all week, but he did get some work in each day from Wednesday through Friday and will have a chance to suit up for Week 6. If Kamara does suit up Sunday he figures to split the backfield work in some fashion with Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson.

Henderson said Friday that an MRI revealed he sustained a high-ankle sprain but that he is "hoping to play" Sunday against the Jets, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

It was reported earlier in the week that Henderson was facing a multi-week absence due to a high-ankle sprain, and while he was indeed diagnosed with the more severe ankle issue, he was able to practice this week and will have a chance to take the field in Week 6.

Sampson (knee) won't be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Sampson has been sidelined since injuring his left knee during a Week 1 loss to the Jaguars, and while he was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, he didn't do enough in practice since then to warrant activation. With Sampson still sidelined and Quinshon Judkins' (foot) status up in the air for Week 6, the Browns may be looking at a situation in which Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime are powering the ground game this weekend.

Judkins (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

Judkins was spotted wearing a walking boot on his right foot following this past Sunday's loss at the Jets, after which head coach Todd Monken called him "day-to-day," per Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com. After sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday, Judkins was back on the practice field Friday, which seemingly is enough to give him a chance to play Sunday versus the Ravens. Because fellow RB Dylan Sampson (knee) won't return from IR this weekend, Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime stand to benefit if Judkins is inhibited or out Sunday.
