Colts' QB Carson Wentz is out indefinitely as he undergoes further testing on a foot injury that he suffered at the end of Thursday's practice, per
@MikeWellsNFL
and me.

Colts' second-year QB Jacob Eason took the starter reps at today's practice, with Sam Ellinger as his backup.

-----------------------------------

Too early to say, but wouldn't be shocked if the Eagles made the right call. We shall see.

Can't stay healthy.
Sheesh, an injury waiting to happen.

Hope he makes it back soon.

couldn’t that affect the draft compensation to Philly?

IIRC, the comp was based on how many games Wentz played?

Wentz needs to play 75% of the snaps for the Colts this eason for Philly to get a first rounder (or 70% and they make the playoffs).

Otherwise, its a 2nd.

Thanks! Don’t hate that.
Damn injury bug.

I thought his kid was going to be a PIA for us for long time.
if he doesn't play those prescribed amount of snaps....  
GiantBlue : 7/30/2021 1:34 pm : link
Eagles don't get that first next year......

Something to watch.

Great call and a great way for the Bears to pick up draft capital lost in the Fields trade. They could start Dalton till Fields is ready....
I do consulting work with a Collison Center in Bismarck ND

The owner's son played football, basketball, and baseball with Wentz. He said the guy was an amazing athlete, but he suffered an injury that kept him out of playing a full season in any of those 3 sports every single year. Said the same thing carried over to his college days with the injury bug.

At this stage I don't think you will ever see a full season football from him

yes
Wonder if Phillip Rivers is missing the game yet?

Seems like a logical call to make.
I hate to make the focus of an injury  
Essex : 7/30/2021 4:46 pm : link
the collateral consequences of it, but this could be huge for us. The Eagles would have three first round picks to get a QB if Hurts does not work out whereas we would have 2 if Jones does not work out. If they do not get the third and we both are looking for QBs (meaning we had bad years) they might not be able to outbid us if there is someone at the top of the draft we like.
Two things about Wentz independent of his foot injury  
GeofromNJ : 7/30/2021 4:49 pm : link
1) He lost a ton of weight and seems to have no muscle mass
2) He was wearing a mask when recently interviewed and refused to say whether he was vaccinated (as if to do so would have violated his religion) -- very weird.

Find me the religion  
Ike#88 : 7/30/2021 7:02 pm : link
that says not to get vaccinated. Vaccinations did not exist in the era BC when most religions were formed. That position by Americans is complete BS. HIPAA does not say you can not say you are vaccinated. It applies to health professionals talking about your health issues.
That would be a real bummer  
St. Jimmy : 7/30/2021 8:01 pm : link
if Philly doesn't get that first round pick.
Fuck Wentz and fuck Philly too…  
trueblueinpw : 7/30/2021 8:10 pm : link
I hope he’s out for the season.

You do realize that he and his wife are both vaccinated, right? No further comment.
Using HIPAA as an excuse  
JohnF : 7/31/2021 5:46 pm : link
not to talk about vaccines is lame, but there's no obligation for players to discuss their medical history with media (though obviously the clubs would have an interest, and likely include that in the players contracts). You can see that in the responses Joe Judge gives about them; the NFL will issue injury reports and prognosis from medical staff as required.

Privacy is a right, not only in the US, but also recognised by the United Nations in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).

The proper answer would have been "None of your business, I don't discuss my medical treatments." to that question. It's the responsibility of the NFL and it's clubs to provide a safe environment for players, not the media.

Any which way to shorehorn that into everything, huh? You just couldn't hold back because that was such a wise comment worth sharing. Thank God you did not resist the urge because now I am set that you decided to make this brilliantly typed out post.
