Tank Bigsby - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Appears locked in as RB2 Bigsby is expected to enter the 2026 season as the Eagles' primary backup behind Saquon Barkley, Glenn Erby of Eagles Wire reports.

Impact Bigsby was acquired from the Jaguars prior to Week 2 last season, and he went on to rush for 344 yards and two touchdowns on 58 carries across 16 regular-season appearances for Philadelphia. His 5.9 yards-per-carry average would have ranked first in the NFL if Bigsby had enough carries to qualify. Though the Eagles also currently employ Will Shipley, Dameon Pierce and Elijah Mitchell at running back, Bigsby appears set to be Barkley's clear No. 2 and someone who will be worth stashing on fantasy benches in the event of a Barkley injury.

Eagles ready for the 49ers after losing the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs

The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for the playoffs despite losing the No. 2 seed after resting starters in a game against Washington

Eagles' Tank Bigsby had the most insane block ever on Commanders' Bobby Wagner | Sporting News You just have to see this.

Looks good as lead back Bigsby rushed the ball 16 times for 75 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Commanders. He added one reception on one target for 31 yards.

Impact Bigsby took advantage of the chance to work as the lead back with Saquon Barkley resting in preparation for the playoffs. He ripped off a pair of 13-yard gains on the ground, and four of his 16 carries went for at least eight yards. Bigsby also plunged into the end zone from two yards away midway through the third quarter, while delivering an impressive 31-yard gain as a receiver-- his longest play from scrimmage. He'll return to a reserve role for Philadelphia's playoff run and closes the regular season with 377 yards from scrimmage across 16 games.

JANUARY 4 • PHILADELPHIAEAGLES.COM

Three touches in tight win Bigsby rushed twice for seven yards and caught one pass for two yards in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Bills.

Impact Bigsby's only big offensive outputs these season have come when the Eagles had a multi-score lead and could rest their starters late. In a tight contest Sunday, he saw the field for just five offensive snaps. The Eagles could still improve from the third to the second seed in the final week of the regular season, meaning Bigsby's role could remain small for the season finale against the Commanders.

Gets into end zone Saturday Bigsby logged four rushes for 37 yards and a touchdown Saturday in a 29-18 Week 16 win over Washington.

Impact As usual, Saquon Barkley was a workhorse for the Eagles, posting a 21-132-1 line as a rusher. That left just eight offensive snaps for Bigsby, but he made the most of those opportunities, especially when he ripped off a 22-yard touchdown run late in the fourth quarter to effectively seal the win for Philadelphia. The touchdown was the first of the campaign for Bigsby, who has averaged a robust 6.6 yards on 40 carries this season but isn't likely to be a viable fantasy play as long as Barkley as healthy.

Good to go Bigsby (illlness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Bigsby should be back at full strength for Saturday's game against Washington, if he isn't already. He took 17 carries for 57 yards during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders, but 13 of those carries came in the fourth quarter after Saquon Barkley was done for the day. Barkley (neck) was also a full practice participant Wednesday, leaving Bigsby in his usual reserve role this week.

Under the weather Bigsby (illness) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

Impact Bigsby is working through an illness to begin Week 16 prep, and he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Saturday's road tilt against the Commanders. The third-year running back is coming off his highest usage game of the regular season, when he turned 17 carries into 57 yards during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Raiders, with 13 of those carries coming in the fourth quarter.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Big role late in blowout Bigsby carried the ball 17 times for 57 yards in Sunday's blowout victory over the Raiders.

Impact 13 of Bigsby's 17 carries came after the Eagles went up 31-0 at the start of the fourth quarter. He wasn't particularly efficient, averaging 3.4 yards per carry on the day, but his fourth-quarter efforts helped the Eagles to an 11-minute, 22-second drive which killed off the game. Expect his role to shrink again next week if the Eagles aren't up big, as his 27 offensive snaps are equal to his total from the last five games combined.

Auburn NFL roundup: Tank Bigsby gets busy in Eagles' victory On the 15th Sunday of the NFL's 2025 season, 19 Auburn alumni got on the field.

DECEMBER 15, 2025 • AL.COM

One carry in OT loss Bigbsy rushed once for four yards in Monday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Chargers.

Impact Bigsby played just seven of the Eagles' 71 offensive snaps, behind starter Saquon Barkley (58) and tied with Will Shipley. The 24-year-old running back has failed to gain more than eight yards in four out of the last five contests, handling just nine total carries over that span. Bigsby remains a solid insurance policy in Philadelphia's backfield in the event that Barkley were to miss time due to injury, but the Auburn product has little standalone value for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Raiders.

DECEMBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs one offensive snap Friday Bigsby didn't receive a touch while playing just one of Philadelphia's 53 offensive snaps in Friday's 24-15 loss to the Bears.

Impact Bigsby had received at least one carry in each of the Eagles' last five games prior to Friday's loss. The negative game script likely factored into his lack of playing time, as Philadelphia turned to a pass-catching back in Will Shipley when spelling Saquon Barkley while trailing for nearly the entire game. Despite limited usage, Bisgby has been incredibly efficient in his 11 games with the Eagles, averaging 9.1 yards per carry on just 18 rush attempts. However, he'll likely remain a minimal portion of the team's offensive game plan in the Week 14 matchup against the Chargers.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal output in loss Bigsby rushed once for eight yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact The third-year back from Auburn played just three offensive snaps in the Week 12 loss, his lowest total since the Week 6 loss to the Giants. Bigsby has appeared in 10 games since joining the Eagles in early September, rushing 18 times for 164 yards while also accumulating 187 kick-return yards. He's expected to continue operating as the team's No. 2 running back in the Week 13 matchup against the Bears.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Four carries in Week 11 win Bigsby rushed four times for 34 yards in Sunday's 16-9 win over the Lions.

Impact Bigsby's stat line wasn't particularly impressive, but both his carries and yards represent his second-best numbers since joining the Eagles via trade after Week 1. It would take an injury to Saquon Barkley for Bigsby to become a significant part of the Eagles' gameplan.
