Shipley had a strong performance with a nice stiff arm that shoved a Pats defender into the ground. The source notes he looked good in practices that week. The Eagles continued to pound the rock with Shipley, aided by great blocking up front, to move into scoring range. He found the end zone capping off a strong drive, and later caught back-to-back completions from McKee including a nice screen reception where he avoided an unblocked defender and hurdled another defender while running after the catch. He scored another touchdown on a pass from McKee in the fourth quarter with another hurdle.

Shipley has impressed in camp and both preseason games and is now a lock to make the 53-man roster. The source notes there may have been questions about his spot a few weeks ago but certainly not anymore. Running 11 times for 56 yards with a five-yard touchdown run and four first downs on only two drives Saturday, Shipley runs hard, keeps his legs moving, moves the pile and hits the hole decisively. The source describes him as a solid special teamer and good kick returner with a flair for making plays at running back. His role behind Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby is unclear, but the Eagles brought in veteran running backs Elijah Mitchell and Dameon Pierce who both got hurt, allowing Shipley to continue impressing.

The 3rd-year running back has had an uneventful summer with touches and scrimmage yards both down from his rookie year to last year, raising legitimate questions about his roster spot. However, he had some nice runs in the preseason game, running six times for 25 yards before finishing with a two-yard loss. He runs hard, has good sense for where the hole is, can catch the ball, return kicks and play special teams, giving him some value. Injuries to Dameon Pierce and Elijah Mitchell may help clear a path for Shipley to make the 53-man roster.
