Why ex-Eagles wide receiver Jason Avant believes Carson Wentz’s mindset changed in 2018 - NJ.com
Avant spoke with NBC Sports Philadelphia’s John Clark on Wednesday and explained that the disconnect between the former franchise quarterback and the organization began in 2018 when Wentz was shut down due to a fracture in his back. Fellow quarterback Nick Foles would go on to replace Wentz for a second consecutive season. In turn, Foles led a follow-up playoff run just one year after the team’s Super Bowl LII push. “In 2018, this is where the mindset of Carson — to me — with the organization changed,” Avant said.
