Alexander Mattison Moved to Injured Reserve

Tuesday, August 12, 9:32 AM

Miami Dolphins running back Alexander Mattison (neck) was officially placed on injured reserve on Monday. Mattison injured his neck during a preseason game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday and later went for surgery. It was announced on Monday that he would miss the remainder of the year, with the team placing him on IR just as a procedural move to clear roster space. Mattison's absence will open up reps for second-year running back Jaylen Wright and rookie Ollie Gordon II behind starter De'Von Achane.

Will Shipley News

Will Shipley Listed as Second RB on Depth Chart

Friday, October 24, 10:48 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley saw the bulk of snaps among his team's backup RBs last week, with A.J. Dillon being a surprising healthy scratch. While Dillon had been Saquon Barkley's main understudy for weeks, Shipley took over duties against the Vikings and was on the field for 16% of offensive snaps. Tank Bigsby was behind him with 8% of snaps. Still, Shipley only recorded a single catch for seven yards on his lone target and did not get any carries. He's currently listed above Dillon as the second RB on the depth chart, but he should only be rostered as a handcuff for now, if at all.
