Eagles RB Attacked and Robbed on Friday Night in Tampa Ahead of Buccaneers Clash
The Philadelphia Eagles’ trip to Tampa took an unexpected and frightening turn on Friday night when one of their players was reportedly robbed while out in the city. The incident happened less than 48 hours before the Eagles face the Buccaneers.
According to early reports, the player suffered only minor injuries and was able to return safely to the team. Philadelphia has since confirmed that the individual is in stable condition and remains with the roster as preparations for Sunday’s game continue.
The Eagles released a brief statement acknowledging the situation, noting they are cooperating with NFL security and local authorities in Tampa as investigations unfold. No further details have been made public about the suspects or what was taken during the robbery.
It was later confirmed that the player involved was running back Tank Bigsby, who is in his first season with the Eagles after joining the roster earlier this year. While shaken, he is expected to remain available for the team’s Week 4 clash against the Buccaneers.
Speaking about the ordeal, Bigsby expressed both gratitude and determination: “It was a scary moment, but I’m thankful to be safe and still here with my teammates. I won’t let this situation take away my focus. Philly can count on me to be ready on Sunday night.”
For the Eagles, the priority is ensuring Bigsby’s well-being while keeping their attention locked on the challenge ahead. For the young running back, it’s an early reminder of adversity off the field - and the resolve required to push through it.
