Carson Wentz – Noteworthy – Injury
QB Carson Wentz will not need surgery for his back injury and might be able to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, head coach Doug Pederson told reporters on Friday.
Wentz has a fracture in his back and originally was listed as questionable for the Rams game, but later in the day was downgraded to doubtful. “He has a stress injury evolved over time and requires no surgery,” Pederson told reporters. “I’m not asking or answering any more questions about it. We’re playing the Rams in two days if you guys haven’t figured this out. “If we put him out there, there has to be 100 percent that there is no risk of anything further.” Wentz has not practiced all week and Pederson said that the full recovery for Wentz’s back injury could take up to three months.
