Ian Rapoport of NFL.com on Wednesday tweeted: “#Eagles QB Carson Wentz, dealing with a back issue, is not expected to play this week, sources say. Depending on the result, given the time of year, Wentz may not play again in 2018. The team is still gathering info on his health.”

This isn’t a sky is falling moment for the Eagles. Nick Foles is a proven playoff performer and Pro Bowler. If the Eagles want to make the playoffs, Foles gives them the best chance to do it. Now Philly must decide if Wentz’s injury history is grounds maybe move on from him.
