Eagles Running Back Will Shipley Suffers Plantar Fascia Tear in London
Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley sustained a partial plantar fascia tear during a recent game in London, potentially sidelining him for multiple weeks.
Wilkes Barre Scranton Hazleton, PA, October 12, 2026 — Philadelphia Eagles player Will Shipley has reportedly sustained a partial plantar fascia tear. The injury is understood to have occurred during a recent game played in London. This type of injury to the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs across the bottom of the foot connecting the heel bone to the toes, can cause significant pain and discomfort, affecting an athlete’s ability to run and train.
The extent of the tear, described as partial, indicates that the tissue is damaged but not completely severed. While specific timelines for recovery can vary widely depending on the severity of the tear and individual healing factors, sources suggest Shipley could be sidelined for multiple weeks. This potential absence could impact the Philadelphia Eagles’ depth at the running back position.
Further medical evaluation will likely be necessary to determine the precise recovery protocol and the expected duration of his absence from the team. The Eagles organization has not yet released an official statement regarding the injury or its implications for Shipley’s participation in upcoming games. The team is expected to provide updates as more information becomes available following a thorough assessment of the injury.
