Schefty coming in hot at 12:44 p.m. –
A recent CT scan on Carson Wentz’s back revealed a fractured vertebrae that, if allowed time to rest, would fully heal without further expected issues, sources tell ESPN. There will be a continued evaluation to determine if continuing to play this year will make injury worse.

Alright, so shut him down for the season and then we’ll see what happens with this medical snafu or whatever happened.
Update:
Ian Rapopopopoport coming in with more info:
With no surgery coming for #Eagles QB Carson Wentz, rest is the key. That’s why he’s not expected to play on Sunday — with QB Nick Foles starting. No determination has been made on Injured Reserve… but they won’t put him at risk. Looking more likely we’ll next see him in '19.

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.

FYI the Eagles did change their medical staff in the offseason. Jamie with a good tweet here:
let's talk about this Eagles medical staff….
Sproles injury took way too long,
Bradham sneaky thumb surgery,
Peters, did he have a procedure on his knee?,
Maragos & Hollins, are they alive?
Wentz now,
Jalen Mills ok, then ruled out,
Ajayi,too much shadiness for me.

Esports Are The Future in this town because Carson is gone.
We have Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and Liu Kang on the Sixers but the Eagles have just become No Man’s Sky.

This is fine.
Can’t choke in December if you can’t play in December
Wentz is a coward.
Did somebody along the way tell either you or Kyle that always spelling Ian Rapoport’s name that was Funny? It is so lame every time I see that. grow up
Yeah, it’s not like he’s a Greg with two gs at the end. People who spell Greg as Gregg deserve to be made fun of and called Greggggggg in writing. This on the other hand, is lame.
Look what a fractured back did for me! The meds prevent me from shutting the fuck up during a broadcast!
He did NOT break the story. Jason Myrtetus at 97.5 broke it.
I put him in the camel clutch, i broke his back, i F’d his A$$, made him humble

I hope Jason has the address to the unemployment office.
