BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Five days after Carson Wentz tore up his knee, Eagles coach Doug Pederson walked into one of the team meeting rooms at the NovaCare Complex and, in front of the entire offense, he kicked over a trash can.
“He was dead serious — his face, everything,” offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland said.
“We were like all on edge,” quarterback Nate Sudfeld said. “Everybody was kind of unsettled like, ‘What did we do wrong?’”
The tension didn’t last long. A smile soon crept across Pederson’s face.
“And then he was like, ‘Ha, I’m just kidding,’” Sudfeld said.
