#Eagles QB Carson Wentz, dealing with a back issue, is not expected to play this week, sources say. Depending on the result, given the time of year, Wentz may not play again in 2018. The team is still gathering info on his health.

Back spasm, soreness, tightness early/mid week does not equate to out for Sunday (and definitely doesn’t explain rumors of out for year). This is either media hysteria or there is more to the injury story.

Eagles coach Doug Pederson, on conference call with L.A. reporters, declined to comment further on reports that Carson Wentz (back) might not play against Rams. Won’t practice toda

Sources: A battery of tests revealed that #Eagles QB Carson Wentz has a fracture in his back. The team did CT scans throughout the season, but none revealed the fracture until now. The team is still determining if there is any risk of continuing to play. No surgery necessary.

Fractured vertebrae MUCH better than a disk issue for Wentz. Trust me.
