Wentz watched from the sideline as Nick Foles became a local legend, leading the Eagles to the franchise’s first Super Bowl title two years ago. Wentz missed the Eagles’ Super Bowl run two years ago because of knee surgery and last year’s wild-card win due to a back injury. “Hate not being out there to finish it out with my guys because of a play like that, but it’s the unfortunate part of the game.”

“Im feeling good today and will be just fine! Head injuries are a scary thing so I appreciate everybody’s thoughts and prayers,” he wrote. Wentz didn’t address the legality of the hit on a Monday morning post on social media. “I’ve been down the injury road it’s not fun. “I don’t intend to hurt anybody in this league, let me just put that out there,” he said. “He was a runner and he did not give himself up,” Smith said.Ĭlowney said he delivered “just a small hit.” NFL referee Shawn Smith told a pool reporter there was no flag because the contact was deemed “incidental.” “I kind of knew something was wrong right away,” Eagles tight end Zach Ertz said. Wentz then left for the locker room late in the first quarter, never to return. Pederson said a trainer notified him that Wentz needed to be checked in the medical tent. “I’d say yes, if he’s healthy, with the gameplan that we had,” Eagles coach Doug Pederson said. The question lingered in the locker room after 40-year-old Josh McCown failed to rally the Eagles in a 17-9 loss to Seattle on Sunday - would the outcome have been different had Wentz stayed healthy?
