Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has been diagnosed with a fractured vertabrae in his back after undergoing a CT scan earlier this week, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Thursday.
According to Schefter, Wentz will not need surgery to address the injury and could potentially fully heal without setbacks with proper rest. The Eagles will continue to evaluate the quarterback's status to determine if he can play again this season.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Wentz underwent several CT scans throughout the season, but none revealed the fracture until recently. Wentz is not expected to play on Sunday against the Rams and may not play again in 2018 depending on Sunday's result.
