2026 Outlook

Shipley is the "clear frontrunner for the RB3 job," positioned ahead of Tank Bigsby and Dameon Pierce for backup reps behind Saquon Barkley. In offseason work, Shipley has impressed in the passing game, being featured with the first and second-team offenses. The Eagles appear poised to manage Barkley's carries given his age (one year away from 30), creating more opportunity for a backup RB, especially one valuable in the passing game. Shipley's real advantage lies on special teams, where he has a shot at becoming the Eagles' full-time kick returner in 2026 (per Philadelphia Eagles Get Good News On 23-Year-Old Promising RB).
