Carson Wentz Will Be Healthy Scratch In Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz will be a healthy scratch in Week 17, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. That would leave Nate Sudfeld as the backup to Jalen Hurts.

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison is expected to serve as the lead back for the Vikings on Sunday against the Lions with Dalvin Cook (personal) out.
