Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was tackled during the second half game against the Los Angeles Rams. Wentz left the game shortly after the play and did not return to the game.
PHILADELPHIA >> Carson Wentz threw a touchdown pass a few plays after suffering an injury that could ruin a special season for the Philadelphia Eagles, and then stuck around to greet teammates and celebrate a division-clinching victory with them.
It’s always team-first for No. 11.
Two sources familiar with the injury said that doctors believe Wentz tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in a 43-35 comeback win over the Rams on Sunday and will miss the rest of the season and playoffs.
Wentz, a favorite in the NFL MVP race, will have an MRI today to confirm the severity of the injury. Both people spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to release the information.
After the game, Wentz’s left knee was wrapped in a brace. He was driven in a cart up the tunnel at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and then hobbled to one of the team buses.
