Option picked up for 2020
The Eagles officially exercised Wentz's (concussion) team option for 2020 on Friday, Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports reports.
Analysis: The move was merely procedural, as Wentz's 2020 salary would have risen to $31.38 million while voiding the remaining years on his extension had Philadelphia declined to exercise the option. Wentz was forced out early in the Eagles' wild-card round loss to the Seahawks on Jan. 5 with a concussion, but he cleared all five phases of the NFL's concussion protocol three days later and would have been available had Philadelphia advanced to the divisional round, per Derrick Gunn of NBC Sports…read more

Won't return to wild-card game
Wentz has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's wild-card game versus the Seahawks due to a head injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. He finished the contest having completed one of four passes for three yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and having recovered his own fumble.
Analysis: Wentz went to the locker room in the first half after being driven into the turf by Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, and his day is done. Josh McCown will fulfill quarterback duties for the remainder of the contest. If the Eagles win, Wentz will aim to get healthy for next Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Packers.

Getting examined for head injury
Wentz is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's wild-card game versus the Seahawks.
Analysis: Wentz was driven into the turf by Seahawks pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney in the first quarter, with his upper back and head taking the brunt of the punishment. Because Wentz was wobbly as he got to his feet, a neurologist alerted the Eagles to a potential head injury. If he enters the NFL's concussion protocol, Wentz will yield QB duties to veteran Josh McCown for the rest of this contest.

Leaves wild-card game early
Wentz went to the locker room late in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: After an examination in the blue sideline tent, Wentz was joined by members of the Eagles' training staff on his way off the field. Prior to his departure, he was driven hard into the turf by Seahawks pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney, but the nature of Wentz's injury is not yet known. As long as Wentz is sidelined, Josh McCown will be under center for Philadelphia.

Steady in Sunday's win
Wentz completed 23 of 40 passes for 289 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Boston Scott ended up being the hero of the Eagles' division-clinching win, but Wentz was steady in guiding the club into the playoffs. The fourth-year QB finishes the regular season with a career-high 4,039 passing yards -- an amazing total, considering all the injuries Philadelphia has had to deal with at wide receiver and tight end -- and a 27:7 TD:INT, but even on home turf he'll face a tough test in the wild-card round next weekend against the Seahawks.

Tops 300 yards in crucial win
Wentz completed 31 of 40 passes for 319 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: He also added 22 rushing yards on six carries. The fourth-year QB topped 300 passing yards for the third time in the last four games, a feat he managed only twice in the first 11 contests this season, and Wentz's improved play has the Eagles on the brink of an NFC East title. They'll look to clinch a playoff berth in Week 17 on the road against the Giants, a team Wentz lit up for 325 yards and two TDs in their last meeting.

More late-game heroics
Wentz completed 30 of 43 passes for 266 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Redskins. He added three carries for nine yards and fumbled three times, losing one.
Analysis: Wentz's first touchdown came on a beautiful throw to running back Miles Sanders in the back corner of the end zone from 15 yards out, and his second was a two-yarder to a wide open Zach Ertz. The latter gave Philadelphia a 24-21 lead with 10 minutes to play, but Washington answered with a field goal before forcing a critical Wentz fumble on the ensuing possession. After the Redskins turned that fumble into another three points to take the lead, Wentz took over with under five minutes left and…read more

Leads comeback win
Wentz completed 33 of 50 attempts for 325 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 23-17 overtime win over the Giants. He also rushed five times for nine yards and lost one of his two fumbles.
Analysis: He endured a rough first half, missing some throws while having others dropped by his depleted receiving corps. To his credit, Wentz rallied when it mattered most, engineering a comeback victory with a couple two-yard touchdown tosses to Zach Ertz. Thanks to his late-game execution, Wentz was able to top 300 yards for the second straight week and now approaches Week 15's matchup against Washington with consecutive multi-touchdown games as well.

Throws three TDs in Week 13 loss
Wentz completed 28 of 46 pass attempts for 310 yards, while throwing three touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 37-31 loss to Miami.
Analysis: The 26-year-old signal-caller finally got things going from a statistical perspective Week 13, accounting for multiple TD throws and eclipsing the 260-yard passing mark for the first time in his past six outings. While Wentz is one of the NFL's most athletic quarterbacks behind the line of scrimmage, his rushing upside has been limited for fantasy purposes, as he only has one rushing score all season and averages fewer than 16 yards per game on the ground. Despite it having been a somewhat…read more

Puts in full practice Wednesday
Wentz (right hand) practiced in full Wednesday.
Analysis: Wentz went to the locker during Sunday's loss to the Seahawks for what was later revealed to be an injury to his throwing hand, which was covered in a heavy wrap after the game. On Monday, coach Doug Pederson said Wentz had a bruise but wasn't expected to miss any time in practice this week, according to Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News. With a full session under his belt Wednesday, Wentz is well on his way to upholding Pederson's prediction as the Eagles prepare for a Week 13 visit…read more

Dealing with minor bruise
Coach Doug Pederson said that Wentz is tending to a bruise on his throwing hand, but the quarterback isn't expected to miss any practice time as a result and should be ready to play this weekend against the Dolphins, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
Analysis: In the aftermath of Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Seahawks, Wentz was spotted with a wrap around his right hand, signaling some level of worry about his health. Pederson's comments should alleviate those concerns, but Wentz will retain an injury designation for the time being until he presumably practices Wednesday as a full participant. The minor hand issue coupled with a depleted pass-catching corps missing top wideouts Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee) proved to be major obstacles…read more

Has heavy wrap on right hand
Wentz left the locker room with his right throwing hand in a heavy wrap following Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Seahawks, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Analysis: Wentz visited the sideline tent and then the locker room in the second half but returned to action and completed the contest. His line was less than efficient -- 33-for-45 passing for 256 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions -- and he also lost two of his three fumbles on the day. Afterward, coach Doug Pederson told Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger that Wentz had an X-ray on his hand, which came back negative. Expect Wentz to undergo further examination in the coming days, and there…read more

Another poor performance
Wentz completed 33 of 45 passes for 256 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the team's Week 12 loss to the Seahawks. He also added five rushes for 27 yards.
Analysis: Wentz went into the game short-handed, lacking multiple key receiving options in Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee). He struggled to work down the field in their absence, as he managed just 5.7 yards per attempt -- his second consecutive game under six yards -- despite completing 73 percent of his throws. Wentz himself was also battling injury, as he received an X-ray on his hand after the game, as reported by Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia. Though the…read more

Stymied by Patriots
Wentz completed 20 of 40 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown while adding 17 rushing yards on three carries in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: The Eagles weren't having much success moving the ball early, but the offense really stagnated after right tackle Lane Johnson was knocked out of the game with a head injury, and Wentz ended up taking five sacks on the afternoon while posting a season low in completion percentage. The 26-year-old QB hasn't topped 240 passing yards or thrown multiple TDs in any of the last four games, and if Johnson's injury keeps him sidelined in Week 12, Wentz could be in for further struggles against the…read more

Held to 6.1 yards per attempt
Wentz completed 26 of 39 pass attempts for 239 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 22-14 win over the Bears. He also carried four times for 15 yards.
Analysis: While Wentz completed 67 percent of his passes, he was held mostly to short connections and finished averaging a lackluster 6.1 yards per attempt. He connected with Zach Ertz for a 25-yard touchdown in the second quarter, flashing a glimpse of the connection that made both players effective fantasy options in seasons past. Wentz also avoided throwing an interception for the second straight game, but after the bye week he'll face a tough matchup against the Patriots.

Falls short of 200-yard mark again
Wentz completed 17 of 24 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-13 win over Buffalo. He added 35 yards on eight rushing attempts.
Analysis: Wentz guided his team back into the win column, but he failed to make fantasy owners happy by falling short of 200 passing yards for the fourth time in the past five games. He finally broke through against Buffalo's stout secondary with a five-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert less than a minute before halftime, then watched the running game take over in the second half, with three different Eagles running backs finding paydirt. Given Wentz's uninspiring recent numbers, his owners should…read more

Under duress all game
Wentz completed 16 of 26 pass attempts for 191 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Sunday's 37-10 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: The Eagles' offensive line struggled to give Wentz much time in the pocket against Dallas' aggressive pass rush. It didn't help that Philadelphia fell behind by 14 points no more than six minutes into the contest, allowing the opposition to key in on stopping the pass early and often. The 26-year-old was stripped twice in addition to his lone pick, leading to a career-high three turnovers. Wentz' protection will have to step things up with a harsh road matchup against the Bills' top-five…read more

Fruitful fantasy day in loss
Wentz completed 26 of 40 passes for 306 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the Eagles' 38-20 loss to the Vikings on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 23 yards.
Analysis: Wentz put up a fantasy-friendly line in the loss, overcoming a very slow start in the first quarter and ultimately eclipsing the 300-yard mark for the first time since the opener against the Redskins. The fourth-year quarterback also got his completion percentage over 60.0 percent for the first time since the opening contest of the campaign, and he did so while notching four completions of at least 20 yards to four different pass catchers. Wentz and the Eagles are back down to .500 with…read more

Held under 200 yards in win
Wentz completed 17 of 29 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Jets. He added five yards on two rushing attempts.
Analysis: Wentz was expected to carve up New York's vulnerable secondary, but he was kept in check outside of an 11-yard touchdown to Zach Ertz 37 seconds before halftime. The quarterback wasn't asked to do much after that, as the defense scored two touchdowns and Philadelphia maintained control throughout with third-stringer Luke Falk failing to lead the Jets to a competitive performance.

Efficient, mistake-free in win
Wentz completed 16 of 27 passes for 160 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Eagles' 34-27 win over the Packers on Thursday. He also rushed six times for 13 yards.
Analysis: The Eagles predictably leaned on the running game in this contest, as the Packers' secondary had shown considerable improvement over last season across the first three games. However, with the ground attack working to the tune of 159 combined rushing yards from Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders, the Green Bay defense was kept honest enough to enable Wentz to find occasional success when dropping back. The fourth-year quarterback hit two of his banged-up pass catchers, Alshon Jeffery and Dallas…read more

Pair of touchdowns in loss
Wentz completed 19 of 36 passes for 259 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Eagles' 27-24 loss to the Lions on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 33 yards.
Analysis: Wentz ultimately put together a solid fantasy line, but he clearly missed wideouts Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) against a feisty Lions defense. The fourth-year quarterback wasn't as sharp as usual overall, completing a season-low 52.8 percent of his throws. Wentz also took three sacks in the narrow loss and misfired deep to rookie J.J. Arcega-Whiteside on fourth down with 49 seconds remaining, an incompletion that sealed the defeat. Wentz and his offensive teammates won't…read more

Returns after brief absence
Wentz (ribs) completed 25 of 43 pass attempts for 231 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Wentz had a lackluster first half and then was forced to leave the game on the team's final drive in the second quarter after taking a hard shot to the ribs. The 26-year-old was able to return and finish the same drive he started, and he was able to finish out the rest of the contest. Wentz's final stat line looks poor, but it is worth noting that he lost his entire starting receiving corps along with backup tight end Dallas Goedert for most of the game. Assuming the quarterback's rib injury…read more

Returns to game after brief absence
Wentz was replaced by Josh McCown late in the first half of Sunday's matchup with the Falcons, Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal reports. After McCown threw five passes, Wentz was able to return later in the drive.
Analysis: Wentz went into the blue tent to get checked for a concussion but was able to get back into the game. He also took a shot to the ribs during a first half in which he threw for only 47 yards and two interceptions. The injury-prone quarterback seems to have dodged a bullet here.

Throws three touchdown passes
Wentz completed 28 of 39 pass attempts with three touchdowns and no interceptions during Sunday's 32-27 win over the Redskins. He also carried three times for six yards.
Analysis: Wentz started off slowly, but he hit a rhythm and ultimately finished having completed 72 percent of his passes. A large chunk of his production came on a pair of deep touchdown passes to DeSean Jackson, and he was a bit unfortunate not to receive credit for a fourth as his flip pass that resulted in an Alshon Jeffery touchdown was ruled to have behind the line of scrimmage. He also showcased his mobility when extending plays, although that didn't translate into much rushing yardage. All in all…read more

Wentz did not warm up prior to Thursday's preseason game against the Ravens and is likely to sit as a precaution, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Eagles' coaching staff has been discussing holding Wentz out for all of the preseason and it appears that will be the case for the third-year signal-caller as he aims to play his first full season since his rookie campaign back in 2016. Cody Kessler will receive the starting nod in his place Thursday.

May not play in preseason
Wentz doesn't believe he needs to play in the preseason, noting that the Eagles' high-intensity practices should be enough to prepare him for Week 1, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports. "I'm not real concerned about what preseason brings," Wentz said. "I think it's good, but at the same time I don't think it's necessary, so I really trust that coach [Doug Pederson] will make those decisions."
Analysis: Pederson hinted at a similar sentiment, noting that his practices at training camp are designed to challenge the players. Wentz has stayed healthy throughout spring and summer, but his recent medical history should push the Eagles toward a cautious approach for the rest of August. Few quarterbacks are working with a superior group of skill-position weapons, and even fewer have an offensive line as talented as Philadelphia's.

Sitting out Thursday
Wentz won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Titans, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: This was more or less expected, but the Eagles will want Wentz to get some run before the exhibition slate concludes after he missed action late last season due to a stress fracture in his back. His next chance to do so will be next Thursday in Jacksonville versus former stand-in Nick Foles. In Wentz's absence, Nate Sudfeld will get the starting nod, with Clayton Thorson and Cody Kessler to follow.

Wentz is trending toward a DNP for Thursday's preseason game versus the Titans, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: The Eagles aren't necessarily treating Wentz with kid gloves, but coach Doug Pederson understandably is wary of putting the franchise quarterback in harm's way after he suffered season-ending injuries each of the past two years, the most recent one a stress fracture in his back in 2018.

Signs four-year extension
Wentz signed a four-year contract extension with the Eagles on Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Wentz had two years remaining on his rookie contract, so the extension will keep him with Philadelphia through 2024. The young passer has missed eight games the past two seasons, plus both playoff runs, but has lived up to the billing of his No. 2 overall selection in the 2016 draft when healthy. He's at full strength for offseason practices after recovering from a stress fracture in his back.

Full go in OTAs
Head coach Doug Pederson said Tuesday that Wentz (back) will have "no limitations" placed on him during OTAs, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: Pederson reiterated that Wentz has already done plenty of offseason work and has proven he doesn't need any restrictions during the voluntary workouts. The fact that Wentz is already being described as a full participant in drills this early in the offseason is a great sign for the quarterback's health heading into training camp. He's under team control through 2020 and could receive a contract extension this summer.

Receives commitment through 2020
The Eagles exercised the fifth-year option on Wentz's (back) contract, Chris McPherson of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Despite tending to injuries in both of the past two seasons, Wentz has reached the 3,000-yard threshold through the air in all three of his campaigns. His fearless nature forced him from the field in 2017 due to a torn ACL and last year as a result of a stress fracture in his back. Fortunately for Wentz, the Eagles allowed Super Bowl LII MVP Nick Foles to walk in free agency this offseason and further committed to the former by locking him into the fifth and final year of his rookie contract.…read more

Still recovering from fracture
Wentz (back) is still working his way back to health and hopes to be ready for OTAs in May, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Wentz avoided surgery after missing the final five games (including playoffs) of the 2018 campaign, but it's nonetheless been a slow process to recover from a stress fracture in his back. He's present Monday for the start of the Eagles' voluntary offseason program, with his rehab presumably allowing for some degree of strength and conditioning work.

In consideration for extension
GM Howie Roseman said Monday that he wants to sign Wentz (back) to an extension, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports. "We have to be realistic about the fact that we have a quarterback we want to pay and we want to extend long term," Roseman relayed. "We want to have a team led by a franchise type of quarterback. We know that we have that in Carson."
Analysis: Wentz has a few things to sort out before he puts pen to paper on a long-term deal. First and foremost, the team no doubt will exercise the fifth-year option on his rookie contract before the May 2 deadline. Beyond that, Wentz has been going through rehabilitation after missing the final three regular-season games and subsequent playoff run due to a fractured vertebra. Roseman wouldn't touch on Wentz's health, citing "HIPPA laws." However, Roseman added, "We are incredibly optimistic about…read more

No update on timeline
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman isn't ready to discuss a timeline for Wentz's return from a back injury, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Held out for the final three games of the regular season as well as two playoff contests, Wentz didn't end up needing surgery for the stress fracture in his back. A report in mid-January suggested he should be ready for the start of the offseason program in mid-April, while fellow quarterback Nick Foles is expected to find a new home before that time. Even if doesn't have full clearance for OTAs and minicamp, Wentz should be 100 percent before the start of training camp in late July.

The latter is 30 and will cost more than $20 million to keep, and while he won a Super Bowl MVP, it was the 26-year-old 2016 first-round pick who laid much of the groundwork for that Super Bowl run with MVP-caliber play of his own. Unfortunately, injury kept Wentz out of a second straight playoff run as he was diagnosed with a fractured back…read more

Awaiting clearance from doctors
Coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that Wentz (back) is "still getting better" and noted that the team is waiting for the quarterback to gain clearance from doctors before bringing him back as a practice participant, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
Analysis: Pederson suggested earlier in the week that Wentz would remain sidelined for the Eagles' divisional-round matchup Sunday against the Saints and tabbed Nick Foles as the starting quarterback and Nate Sudfeld as the backup. However, when addressing Wentz's situation Wednesday, Pederson said that Wentz could be active as a third quarterback, according to Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia. That's a rather unlikely outcome in the event Wentz is unable to practice beforehand,…read more

Not available for divisional round
Coach Doug Pederson confirmed Monday that Wentz (back) would remain out of the Eagles' divisional-round matchup with the Saints this weekend, Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Pederson noted that Wentz is "still getting healthy" while recovering from a fractured back, paving the way for Nick Foles to make a fifth straight start under center Sunday while Nate Sudfeld works as the No. 2 quarterback. The Eagles have thus far resisted moving Wentz to injured reserve, though all indications are that he won't be available at any point during the Eagles' playoff run.

Likely not available for playoffs
Wentz (back) isn't expected to be available for the postseason should the team qualify, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Nick Foles will make a third straight start in Wentz's stead in the regular-season finale Sunday, with an Eagles victory over the Redskins combined with a Vikings loss to the Bears guaranteeing Philadelphia a spot in the playoffs. While the Eagles will cast their lot with Foles the rest of the way, Wentz is scheduled to undergo another scan on his fractured back in the near future, just to ensure that he's healing as anticipated. Despite Foles' success in place of the injured Wentz both this…read more

Won't be back Week 17
Coach Doug Pederson confirmed that Wentz won't be available for Sunday's regular-season finale in Washington and will be evaluated early next week, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Nick Foles will thus remain the Eagles' starting quarterback for the third straight game as the team aims to punch its ticket to the postseason with a win and a Minnesota loss to Chicago in Week 17. Per Shorr-Parks, Pederson relayed that the Eagles aren't planning on placing Wentz on injured reserve and will wait and see how he progresses over the next week before deciding on his availability for the playoffs, should Philadelphia qualify. Though Pederson reiterated that Wentz -- when healthy --…read more

Doesn't practice all week
The Eagles listed Wentz (back) as a non-participant in practices Wednesday through Friday.
Analysis: This merely confirms coach Doug Pederson's stated expectation from earlier in the week. Wentz is hoping the stress fracture in his back will improve with rest, potentially allowing for a return Week 17 against the Redskins or during the playoffs. Nick Foles will receive a second straight start in Sunday's home game against the Texans.

Not expected to practice this week
Coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that he expects Wentz (back) to do the same amount of work this week as he did during Week 15, Daniel Gallen of PennLive.com reports.
Analysis: Wentz was a non-participant in practices last Wednesday though Friday with the stress fracture in his back, so Pederson's comments suggest the quarterback won't advance to even limited activity this week. The Eagles already named Nick Foles as their starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Texans, and it looks increasingly likely that they'll stick with the reigning Super Bowl MVP as their top signal-caller the rest of the way in order to give Wentz ample recovery time from the injury.

Not ruled out beyond Week 16
Wentz may need three months to fully recover from the stress fracture in his back, but he hasn't been ruled out beyond Week 16, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Eagles remain open to the idea of playing Wentz at less than 100 percent strength, but they've already ruled him out for Week 16 and won't bring him back unless a playoff appearance is at stake. His chances of playing again this season thus depend on Nick Foles leading the Eagles to another victory Sunday against the Texans, or else hoping for a Detroit win over Minnesota. Should one of those two things happen, the team would then re-evaluate Wentz to see if he can play Week 17 at…read more

Out another week
Wentz (back) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Texans, but he won't be placed on injured reserve, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
Analysis: Coach Doug Pederson said Wentz is now considered week to week, though the team's latest information on his back injury is favorable. Nick Foles will get at least one more start after completing 77.4 percent of his passes for 8.7 yards per attempt in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Rams. A loss to the Texans would essentially kill the Eagles' playoff chances and thus eliminate any hope for Wentz to return this season.

Could return Week 16
Coach Doug Pederson left the door open for Wentz (back) to return for Week 16 against the Texans, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports. "You know it's something we're going to take a look at," Pederson said Monday morning. "We're still gathering some information today and tomorrow. And we'll make that decision later in the week."
Analysis: Nick Foles actually decreased his chances of getting another start when he led the team to a 30-23 victory over the Rams on Sunday. The Eagles now have a realistic path to the playoffs, needing wins the next two weeks along with one more loss apiece from the Vikings and the Panthers (who face New Orleans on Monday). While he didn't practice in any capacity last week, Wentz isn't expected to require surgery for his back fracture and thus stands a chance to return before the end of the season.…read more

Ruled out for Week 15
The Eagles have officially ruled Wentz (back) out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: Since Wentz was listed as doubtful on the Eagles' final injury report Friday, the Philadelphia brass must not have must have not liked what it saw from the signal-caller upon re-evaluating him Saturday. Considering Wentz skipped practice all week, the final verdict on his status for Week 15 isn't shocking, but his availability for the final two regular-season contests is still undecided. While it's not believed that Wentz will require surgery to address his back fracture, the Eagles may not…read more

Deemed doubtful on final report
Updating a previous report, Wentz (back) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Rams, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
Analysis: Coach Doug Pederson referred to his quarterback as "questionable" Friday morning, but the final injury report tells a slightly different story, supporting the notion that Wentz is expected to miss at least one game. He didn't practice in any capacity this week, with the Eagles opting for rest after a CT scan revealed a fracture in his back. The team expects Wentz to avoid surgery, but he may nonetheless be in danger of missing time beyond Sunday. The Eagles are scheduled for an 8:20 PM ET…read more

Questionable for Week 15
Coach Doug Pederson said Wentz (back) is dealing with a "stress injury" that has "evolved over time" and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Mike Kaye of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: Wentz was diagnosed with a fractured back following a CT scan earlier this week, and Pederson confirmed Friday surgery will not be necessary. The Eagles head coach also said the team would not put Wentz on the field if there was risk of future injury, and that a full recovery could take three months, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia. The 25-year-old still officially has a chance to suit up in Los Angeles on Sunday, but it would be completely unsurprising for the Eagles to…read more

Diagnosed with fractured back
Wentz was diagnosed with a fractured back vertebrae after receiving a CT scan Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Wentz has been sent in for multiple scans since the back issue first cropped up weeks earlier, but it wasn't until Thursday that a fractured vertabrae was detected. The Eagles are still evaluating Wentz to determine whether the issue is something he can play through over the remainder of the season or if the team is better served resting the franchise signal-caller. Regardless of the Eagles' decision, Rapoport and Schefter both relay that Wentz won't require…read more

Slated for MRI
Wentz will undergo an MRI on Thursday as the Eagles look to determine the extent of the back injury he's nursed for several weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Citing a source, Schefter relays that it's unlikely Wentz will play Sunday against the Rams, which matches what Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported a day earlier. Coach Doug Pederson has thus far been unwilling to rule Wentz out for Week 15, but the quarterback's absence from practice Wednesday and need for an MRI a day later doesn't inspire much confidence in his health. Schefter notes that Wentz received some scans on his back Wednesday that proved inconclusive, so the MRI will hopefully…read more

Analysis: A pair of sources relayed to Maaddi that no decision has been made regarding Wentz's availability for Week 15, going against a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, who reported the quarterback isn't expected to play. Coach Doug Pederson touched on Wentz's health, calling his issue "a little bit of back soreness, a little tightness, so we're going to rest him [Wednesday], continue to evaluate him and make sure he's good." Nick Foles worked as the No. 1 quarterback at Wednesday's practice and…read more

Unlikely to play Week 15
Wentz (back) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Rams, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: During a media session earlier Wednesday, coach Doug Pederson relayed that Wentz wouldn't take part in the team's first practice of the week but remained a possibility for Sunday. This latest report casts more doubt on Wentz's availability, with Rapoport adding that depending on how the NFC playoff picture looks after Week 15, the Eagles could be inclined to shut their franchise signal-caller down for the final two games of the regular season. The team is still gathering information regarding…read more

Tending to back issue
Wentz is dealing with back soreness and tightness and won't participate in practice Wednesday, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
Analysis: Coach Doug Pederson characterized Wentz's absence as more of a rest day but also was unwilling to commit fully to the quarterback suiting up Sunday against the Rams. The Eagles likely will take a day-to-day approach in evaluating Wentz this week before ultimately rendering a verdict on his status. Nick Foles will earn the first-team reps at Wednesday's practice and would draw the Week 15 starting nod if Wentz isn't able to give it a go.

Late offensive surge not enough
Wentz completed 22 of 32 pass attempts for 228 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 29-23 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: This game was looking like a real fantasy dud tied at nine heading into the fourth quarter, but a late offensive flurry by both quarterbacks helped pad Wentz owners' scores. The 25-year-old has picked things up over his last two contests (69 percent completion rate, 534 yards and five touchdowns) following a brief cold spell. The Eagles ran the ball just 10 times despite the game being close, which is a sign that head coach Doug Pederson is going to rely on his star quarterback's arm as the…read more

Tops 300 yards in win
Wentz completed 27 of 39 passes for 306 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Monday night's 28-13 win over the Redskins. He also threw a successful two-point conversion.
Analysis: Wentz got the Eagles off to a strong start, throwing a six-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate on the team's first offensive series. He later threw a bad interception while attempting to hit Alshon Jeffery for a five-yard touchdown to begin the third quarter, but responded by hitting Jordan Matthews on a four-yard score on Philly's next drive. Considering Wentz boasted just one touchdown versus three interceptions over his prior two outings, Monday's two-touchdown performance was a needed…read more

Nabs win despite quiet game
Wentz completed 20 of 28 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Wentz turned in another lackluster statistical performance, but he did just enough to lead his team back from a 19-3 deficit. His touchdown pass was a 15-yarder to tight end Zach Ertz with 1:04 remaining before halftime. Wentz has posted his two lowest passing yard totals of the season and just a 1:3 touchdown to interception ratio over the past two weeks, so he'll be looking to bounce back in Week 13 against the Redskins.

Falls off cliff in big loss
Wentz completed 19 of 33 passes for 156 yards and three interceptions during Sunday's 48-7 loss to the Saints. He added a 6-yard run.
Analysis: Wentz took a shot off play action with the Eagles down by 10 early in the second quarter. The pass was slightly underthrown and picked by Marshon Lattimore, which propelled the Saints to another touchdown drive, putting Philadelphia behind by three scores early. Wentz went on to throw two more interceptions, but both came in the Eagles' final two drives when they were just trying to get the ball downfield. The game snapped a streak of six straight outings in which Wentz threw for multiple…read more

Throws for 360 yards in loss
Wentz completed 32 of 44 pass attempts for 360 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Wentz was extremely efficient in this one, but he did suffer an ugly interception that appeared to be thrown directly at Dallas linebacker Leighton Vander Esch. Despite taking the loss, the third-year gunslinger set a new season high in aerial yards against the Cowboys' fifth-ranked passing defense. Wentz has taken a big step forward in accuracy (71 percent) and downfield success (8.0 yards per attempt) compared to last year's near-MVP numbers, while also maintaining an excellent 5.0 TD:INT.…read more
