According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Indianapolis Colts starting quarterback Carson Wentz suffered a sprain in not just one of his ankles, but both ankles during Sunday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams:
#Colts QB Carson Wentz is dealing with injuries to not just one ankle, but both ankles sources say. He’s having tests today to determine the severity of his sprains suffered yesterday.

Of course, this fully explains why Wentz was unable to return to the field for the Colts’ final offensive series late in the 4th quarter—with the chance to win or tie, as without the ability to plant and drive to successfully throw on either foot (or move behind the Colts’ beleaguered offensive line for that matter), it could’ve spelled downright disaster.
