Thanks to staff writer Zach Binney's analysis of NFL injury data, we are now able to provide more detailed injury return (number of games missed) and recovery (number of weeks limited in practices or games) estimates based on historical data for select injuries. These estimates also consider the position of the injured player. Details of our methodology are available here.
An MRI scan has already confirmed that Carson Wentz tore the ACL in his left knee against the Rams, and will miss the rest of the season. Head coach Doug Pederson confirmed the news today, stating that the team believes the injury occurred on the step before Wentz dived into the end zone and was hit by two Rams defenders.
