Newer update on Carson Steele: Jalen Hurts injury update: Eagles lose 25-14 to Panthers as IR stint continues

Carson Steele injury update: Questionable to return vs. Panthers (shoulder)

Eagles running back Carson Steele is questionable to return with a shoulder injury against the Panthers.

By Cole Hartwell

Eagles running back Carson Steele is questionable to return with a shoulder injury, according to Mike Garafolo.

What happened

Steele left Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers and is questionable to return due to a shoulder injury.

Context

Steele is the Eagles’ RB2 on the depth chart, behind Dameon Pierce. He has no 2026 season totals listed through Week 5. Sleeper projected him for 2.5 PPR points in Week 6 before the game.

Depth chart

With Steele sidelined, Dameon Pierce is the lead back. Pierce has 3.2 PPR points, 11 carries, 14 rushing yards, five targets, two receptions, and -2 receiving yards on 77 percent of snaps over one game this season.

Jaydon Blue is RB3 and was signed to the active roster off the practice squad ahead of Week 6. Saquon Barkley is out for this game, while Will Shipley is on injured reserve.

What’s next

The Eagles host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, October 18.

#Eagles RB Carson Steele questionable to return with a shoulder injury.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Steele’s injury leaves Pierce as the primary ball carrier for Philadelphia. Pierce has played 77 percent of snaps already, and his 11.1 PPR projection for Week 6 indicates a solid workload. If Steele misses time, Pierce becomes a must-start in most formats. Jaydon Blue, recently signed from the practice squad, could see an increase in snaps as the RB3 but remains a desperation flex option at best.
