Carson Wentz had an emotional moment with every teammate right after Sunday's loss
Carson Wentz didn't need to do this.
Carson Wentz’s performance in Sunday’s wild-card game against the Seahawks was a short one as the Eagles QB was knocked out if in the first quarter courtesy of a dirty hit by Seattle’s Jadeveon Clowney, which somehow wasn’t flagged.
Wentz suffered a concussion and never returned to the sidelines. While Josh McCown did his best in relief, the Eagles were basically all but done after the injury.
Some media members and fans have chalked up Wentz’s concussion to the QB being injury prone, which is stupid. A concussion is a concussion and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. It’s a very serious injury that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
Wentz was emotional after the game and went around apologizing to each and every teammate, which he didn’t have to do. There was nothing he could do about this dangerous injury.
His teammates told the media about the apologies:
Again, Wentz had nothing to apologize for – Clowney should have been the one saying sorry.
Here’s ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky correctly scolding those who think the concussion proves that Wentz is injury prone:
And here’s Wentz’s heartfelt message that he shared on Instagram:
