Eagles believe Carson Wentz (ACL) is out for season

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 Sunday over the Los Angeles Rams, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed of the injury. 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.
Eagles coach Doug Pederson said after the game Wentz would undergo an MRI exam Monday to evaluate the injury.
"I don't know anything yet until we evaluate him fully tomorrow," Pederson said.
Pederson added: "You're speculating that he's going to be out. So until I know more tomorrow on him, it's hard to say. But listen, there's a lot of leaders on that football team right now. And you saw it tonight."

Seahawks CB Richard Sherman out for season after rupturing Achilles



GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman will miss the rest of the season after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon in Thursday night's 22-16 win over the Arizona Cardinals.





Sherman exited the game in the third quarter and did not return. He says he expects to undergo surgery after swelling in the Achilles goes down in the next few days.

"No coming back from that until you get surgery," head coach Pete Carroll said, adding that Sherman "couldn't even walk" after leaving the game and standing on the sideline.

"He's been a bastion of consistency, competitiveness and toughness. We're going to miss the heck out of him."

Sherman, who has never missed a game since entering the league in 2011, said his Achilles has actually been bothering him all season and that he has tried to avoid making any drastic cuts. On the play in which he was hurt, Sherman said the defense was playing Cover 2 and that he was going for an interception.

"I thought I could get the ball. Once it popped, just unfortunate," said Sherman, who was visibly emotional at times while addressing reporters. "One of those things that you have to play through for as long as you can. When it goes, it goes.

"I've put a lot of stress on it. Think it would have gone eventually."
