The Jacksonville Jaguars traded running back Tank Bigsby to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday evening. After logging just five carries in the Jaguars' win in Week 1, the Jaguars felt he was expendable.

On the other side, the Eagles will send over a fifth and sixth-round pick.

Bigsby was a third-round draft pick in the 2023 NFL draft. At Auburn, he was the SEC co-Freshman of the Year and was also named the second-team All-SEC.

The 5'11 running back played 34 total games for the Jaguars and picked up 910 yards and nine touchdowns. He lost two fumbles in his career as well. In the receiving game, he caught eight passes for 60 yards.

Jacksonville, in Week 2, will take on the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in Cincinnati. For the Philadelphia Eagles, Bigsby will back up Saquon Barkley, and his first game with the team will be a Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
