Eagles’ quarterback Carson Wentz left the Philadelphia sideline on Sunday after suffering a left knee injury.
The injury appeared to occur during a tackle as Wentz was diving towards the end zone in the third quarter. Wentz’s legs got tangled between those of the defenders,. The Eagles’ quarterback was a bit slow to get up.
While Wentz would go on to finish the series after his touchdown was called back due to a holding call, after the series he spoke with trainers on the sidelines and headed to the locker room shortly thereafter.
Erin Andrews would later report from the sidelines that the injury was to Wentz’s left knee, and that he would not return to the game. She also said that while the severity of the injury was not yet known, “as I was standing back by that Eagles locker room, all that support staff that was with Carson Wentz was just shaking their heads.”

Wentz’s absence comes during a crucial game, with the Eagles and Rams facing off with the top spot in the NFC on the line.
