Carson Wentz expected to miss Sunday's game

At the risk of being labeled inside information guy, I do have some really good inside information that Wentz is being shut down for the rest of the season.

 

I don't have any inside information but given that the Eagles are basically eliminated due to the loss to Dallas, I suspect that will be the case. I don't know if this is a real injury or not, but either way, they're not going to want to play him anymore.

 

Had they beaten Dallas, the division would've been a coin flip and Wentz would be playing this week. The hard luck loss (with Cooper's luckbox overtime TD) means Philly would have to win 3 AND have Dallas lose all 3. No chance.

Eagles coach Doug Pederson says Carson Wentz has a stress fracture in his back and is questionable to play Sunday night against the Rams in Los Angeles.

 

Pederson says the injury evolved over time and does not require surgery but could take up to three months to heal. Wentz is expected to travel with the team for the game.

Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles would play if Wentz can't go. Foles hasn't taken a snap in a game since Week 2. He took over in Week 14 last season after Wentz tore two ligaments in his left knee.

Eagles still have not placed Wentz on IR for some reason.

 

 

Foles will start again next week, the Eagles announced, which was pretty obvious. 

 

Only thing I can think of, is keeping him on the roster in case they win out and sneak into the playoffs.  

 

He would be insurance in case Foles were to get hurt.  From what I read, Wentz could probably give it a go in his condition.  That's why he was never ruled out until late in the week.

 

But of course he won't play and risk it if there isn't any reason to.
