PHILADELPHIA — The locker was empty save for three dri-fit t-shirts, a green towel and a play-call sheet folded up like an accordion on the edge of a shelf. Carson Wentz wasn’t around to shake hands with his teammates or say goodbye to his 2019 Eagles teammates; veteran backup QB Josh McCown, having played three quarters of their 17-9 wild-card loss to the Seahawks, served as his limping emissary.
If anything summed up the macabre sense of humor with which the football world saw the Eagles this season, it was the feelings of emptiness and physical pain surrounding that vacant stall.
