Eagles QB Carson Wentz will not play against Rams with a fractured vertebra

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has been officially ruled out of their game on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams with a fractured vertebra, the team announced on Saturday morning.

Wentz had initially been listed as questionable before he was downgraded to doubtful on Friday afternoon. He could miss the rest of the season with the injury, especially if the Eagles are eliminated from the playoff race. Nick Foles will likely take over in Wentz’ absence.
