An MRI confirmed Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has a torn ACL in his left knee and is out for the season, according to a report by ESPN.
Wentz, a second-year quarterback out of North Dakota State, threw for 3,296 yards, 33 touchdowns and seven interceptions this season.
After suffering his injury in the third quarter of Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Rams, Wentz tweeted thanks to fans for prayers and congratulated his team on clinching the NFC North title.
“NFC East Champs! So proud of the resiliency of this team. Such a special group of men,” Wentz wrote. “And I greatly appreciate all the prayers! I know my God is a powerful one with a perfect plan. Time to just lean in to him and trust whatever the circumstances! Proverbs 3:5-6”
