Colts quarterback Carson Wentz is dealing injuries to both of his ankles (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport). Wentz will undergo tests today to learn more, but this doesn’t bode well for his future availability. 
Wentz was forced out in the fourth quarter against the Rams on Sunday. That’s when his right ankle twisted underneath Aaron Donald.
“He rolled it up pretty bad,” Colts coach Frank Reich said (via ESPN.com). “I had a sense when he walked off the field. It didn’t look good. Sometimes if you go back in right away when it’s still warm you can maybe gut out a few more plays. The longer we were off the field, it stiffened up and he tried, but there was no chance.”
Now, we know that Wentz’s left ankle is also in bad shape. Second-year quarterback Jacob Eason — who stepped in and went on to lob an interception — will likely start for the Colts in Week 3 and possibly longer.
“Felt it right away. Tried to tape it up and do everything I could to finish the game,” Wentz said. “I’ve sprained my ankle probably 100 times since I was a kid. This one I just couldn’t play on it.”
The Colts, now at 0-2, badly need to get in the win column. They’ll likely be without Wentz on Sunday when they face the Titans in Nashville. After that, they’ve got two more road games before they return home to Indy.
Makes sense he got hurt, his ankle isn’t vaxed…
Even if it was he would have a “breakthrough” injury with a higher load of sprain
Bad luck
How soon can the Colts get out from this contract?
Injuries are bugging him as many suspected, but Wentz has played well on the field. The Colts need him healthy, especially with two unproven backups behind him.
That said, I liked Ehlinger better than Eason in the preseason personally, but I’m not sure if he’s recovered from his own injury. Indy may have to acquire another backup.
At least this will help our draft next season.
Bye bye draft pick
BAD NEWS = Wentz may not play in week #3
GOOD NEWS = Wentz may not play in week #3
Donald manhandled the Colts.
The worst thing the Colts did was sign Carson Wentz. He has had only 2 seasons that were completed and has more injuries than any QB. My thought is maybe Irsay needs to clean house from top to bottom. The Colts will be lucky to finish the season with a 500 record. Worst mistake trading Berrsett.
The honeymoon between Wentz and Colts fans ( if there was one at all) is most likely over. I’m so glad he’s not an Eagle anymore. Eagles fans expecting Wentz’s trade pick to convert to a 1st Rounder will also be disappointed. Wentz screw the Eagles one more time.
