The Eagles’ worst fear was realized when an MRI exam confirmed that quarterback Carson Wentz suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Sunday’s 43-35 win over the Los Angeles Rams. Coach Doug Pederson made the official announcement at a press conference Monday.
Wentz will miss the remainder of the season and postseason and will require surgery in the coming days. There’s no word yet on when the surgery will take place. The Eagles will turn to Nick Foles at quarterback.
“The reason we went out to get Nick Foles is for reasons like this,” Pederson said.
