The Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl dreams may have come crashing on Sunday. Late in the third quarter of the today’s Eagles-Rams game, Wentz took a big hit to the knee while trying to dive for a touchdown between two Rams defenders.
Wentz was able to throw a touchdown pass a few plays later but limped off the field.

Now it’s being reported that the team believes Wentz suffered an ACL injury is possibly out for the season.
Via NFL.com
The Eagles believe Carson Wentz’s season is over after the quarterback suffered an ACL injury in his knee during Philadelphia’s 43-35 win over the Los Angeles Rams, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported. Wentz exited the contest late in third quarter and was ruled out shortly after heading to the locker room. Nick Foles replaced Wentz under center for Philly.
While the Eagles have still not officially released a statement on Wentz’s injury, Eagles fans took to Twitter and are in full freak out mode.

Imagine dating an 11/10. Way out of your league. Things are going great. Then all the sudden she just walks out and leaves you for your best friend.
That’s what losing Carson Wentz this season feels like.

Obviously that's a great win but all I'm worried about rn is the health of Wentz. Just have to pray he's not done for the year🙏

Hopefully Wentz’s injury isn’t as bad as it’s being reported and he can back in time for the playoffs.
