NFL Note - Philadelphia Eagles Wentz, Carson

Dec 11, 2017 - 8:51 AM QB Carson Wentz left Sunday's 43-35 win against the Los Angeles Rams with a knee injury in the third quarter.

After the game, reports surfaced that said the Eagles believe Wentz might have a torn ACL. Wentz is scheduled for an MRI exam Monday to determine the severity of the injury.

Wentz, who threw four touchdown passes, absorbed a punishing blow when trying to run in for a score. He made it to the end zone, but a holding penalty negated the score.

Nick Foles took over in the fourth quarter for Wentz, who leads the NFL with 33 touchdown passes and has guided Philadelphia to an 11-2 record, the best in the NFC.

Eagles head Doug Pederson would not confirm or deny talk of a torn ACL after Sunday's game.

Wentz left after taking a big hit on a third-quarter touchdown run that was called back because of a penalty. But he stayed in the game to deliver his last touchdown pass before hobbling to the sideline. He would leave the stadium on a motorized cart to reach the team bus.

"We will find out more tomorrow," Philadelphia head coach Doug Pederson said, discounting a report that Wentz had suffered a torn knee ligament. "You're speculating he is going to be out, but I just don't know yet."

Before Wentz exited, he completed 23-of-41 attempts for 291 yards, with an interception.

In the first matchup of the 2016 draft's top two picks, Wentz got the better of Goff, the No. 1 overall selection that year. Goff was 16 of 26 for 199 yards and two touchdowns.

The Eagles had regained the lead 31-28 on Alshon Jeffery's scoring catch of 2 yards after the Rams committed two 15-yard penalties. For Wentz, it was his 33rd touchdown pass of the season, breaking Sonny Jurgensen's franchise mark set in 1961.
