Carson Wentz will indeed have foot surgery that could keep him sidelined for three months, according to The Athletic's Stephen Holder.

Holder reports Wentz had a foot injury that could have dated as far back as to high school and over time the bone came loose and caused pain, forcing surgery, which was a clear cut decision.

Wentz is expected to be out five to 12 weeks.

This affect the Eagles in a big way, as Philadelphia's conditional second-round pick in 2022 they received from Indianapolis in the Wentz trade could improve to a first rounder if Wentz plays 75+ percent of Indy’s offensive snaps this season—or if he plays 70+ percent and the Colts make the playoffs.

Obviously, news of Wentz miss up to three months of time—which could be around Week 9 of the season—makes that first-round pick unlikely for the Eagles.

Update: 6:17pm

Chris Mortensen adds the Colts are not trading for Foles, after rumors begun to circulate, and Wentz could still play in Week 1.
