The Philadelphia Eagles say quarterback Carson Wentz has an injured knee and won’t return to Sunday’s showdown against Jared Goff and the Los Angeles Rams.
Wentz was hit hard as he scrambled into the end zone late in the third quarter on a play that was called back because of holding on tackle Lane Johnson. Four plays later, Wentz threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Alshon Jeffery to give the Eagles a short-lived 31-28 lead. The Rams then went up 35-31 on a 1-yard run by Todd Gurley.
The Eagles quarterback went to the locker room, and he has been replaced by Nick Foles.

There’s been a huge momentum swing in the Eagles-Rams showdown between division leaders.

It was the Rams’ second TD in less than two minutes. Jared Goff capped the opening drive of the second half with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Sammy Watkins.
The Eagles had taken a 24-14 halftime lead on three touchdown passes by Carson Wentz. They need to win to clinch the NFC East.
