Carson Wentz Has Fractured Vertebrae In Back
6 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz's (back) CT scan revealed a fractured vertebrae that could be allowed to heal with no further expected issues, according to sources. Wentz will continue to be evaluated to determine if he can make the injury worse by playing this year. Wentz is highly unlikely to play in Week 15 against the Rams and will likely be shut down the rest of the way if the Eagles lose another game and fall further out of the playoff picture. Nick Foles, last year's improbable Super Bowl MVP, will likely start the rest of the way. He'll be a low-end QB2. Philly's pass-catchers should be downgraded, including tight end Zach Ertz.
