2021 NFL Power Rankings, Week 3: Ravens knock off Chiefs, Raiders crack top 10
By Randy Gurzi
Sadly, Carson Wentz has had his career marred by injuries and it may have happened once again.
He had an injury in the preseason that required surgery and he was expected to miss time. However, he fought his way back and was on the field in Week 1 which was a surprise. Then in Week 2, he suffered another injury which sent him to the sidelines in this one.
Jacob Eason wasn’t able to get it done and the Colts lost 27-24 and according to ESPN, it’s the first 0-2 start for head coach Frank Reich and it could get worse with their upcoming schedule.
"“Indianapolis, meanwhile, is reeling from the first 0-2 start in coach Frank Reich’s four-year tenure.” “And things appear to be only getting tougher as the Colts embark on a three-game road trip to Tennessee, Miami and Baltimore — perhaps without their starting quarterback. Though Wentz wasn’t in a walking boot when he spoke to reporters, he said he felt sore and was upset he was watching Indy’s final two possessions helplessly from the sideline.” — AP via ESPN"
Also noted in this game recap was the fact that Wentz was in a walking boot. That’s not encouraging, although it could mean they only have to give up a second-round pick for him rather than a first. That’s something.
