Why is Carson Wentz not playing?Entering Week 13, Wentz led the NFL in both interceptions Dexter Fowler Jersey thrown and sacks taken. The Eagles got off to a rough start to their game that Sunday against the Packers, and it prompted Pederson to insert the rookie Hurts, who led a decent comeback charge. Wentz hasn't played since.
Since then, Hurts ran for 106 yards in Week 14 and surpa sed 300 yards through the air in Weeks 15 and 16. At the very least, Hurts' play was going to create quarterback controversy ahead of the 2021 season.
