— Eliot Shorr-Parks (@EliotShorrParks) April 15, 2019Wentz is entering his fourth season in the NFL having suffered a serious injury in his previous three seasons. He suffered broken ribs in the preseason his rookie season, he tore his ACL/LCL his sophomore season and a back injury sidelined him for the final five games of last season.
His inability to stay healthy has become a major question about Wentz and his future, especially with the team soon having to decide if they want to sign him to a mega-extension that would cement his place as a franchise quarterback.
