PHILADELPHIA _ Carson Wentz is a new addition to the Eagles' injury list, with a back injury that will sideline him for practice Wednesday. Whether Wentz will be able to play Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams has yet to be determined.
Coach Doug Pederson labeled Wentz's injury as "back soreness, a little tightness" and said the Eagles are resting him during practice and will "continue to evaluate him to make sure he's good." Wentz's news conference on Wednesday was postponed.
The NFL Network reported that Wentz will likely miss Sunday's game and might be shut down for the remainder of the season. Asked if Wentz will play Sunday, Pederson said "we're going to focus on today, get through today, and see where he's at at the end of the day."
Pederson said the soreness is not related to Sunday's game against the Cowboys and is something Wentz has been dealing with this season. Wentz was on the injury report in October because of a back injury that limited him, but this is the first time he'll miss a practice.
