Wentz injury cover up?

[jarntt]

I was talking about the Eagles going to the playoffs..

Boy, you sure now how to kill the mood...

 

[SteelersPride]

Can’t pinpoint the injury

 

[Manster7588]

Can’t pinpoint the injury

Because it's not there.

 

[NinerSickness]

I think you read the words “broken back” and immediately assumed it was super serious because the words “broken back” usually mean it’s a serious injury to us simpletons.

How the f**k is a broken back not a serious injury to a f***ing NFL player? I'm not saying it's career-threatening, but it sure as s**t could be if you play with it.

Break = fracture. That's serious if it's your spine, no matter how small it is. We're not talking about a pinky.

So when you all gonna start sporting the Eagles Avi?

I mean every little sneeze, fart, coming out of the Nova Complex and there is a thread up in two minutes!

It's time for everyone to come out of the closet and be free, say it with me, Fly Eagles Fly!

It comes with winning. We know that's new to Philthy Fans.
Not to worry in just two more weeks they'll fade off into obscurity once again.

I wonder if it will take another 50 years and a fluke to get them back to where people are talking about them again?

said every single Patriots fan on this board in 2017

Ha, it started in 2001 and hasn't let up.

Nfl .com had reported earlier that Wentz had a broken back, then took that story down! Now lists him as questionable and the broken back story is long gone. You can still google and find reports where he has a possible broken back:

Eagles' Carson Wentz has a broken back, report says; did he play through it?

Now NFL . com is downplaying that, no mention of a broken back and has this:
Doug Pederson: Carson Wentz questionable for Sunday

Sounds like more to this story than is being told

Eagles knew about this injury and they should be punished for not divulging this information. If the cowboys pulled this type of thing goodell would take away a draft pick and levy a large fine

Cough.... Tony Romo... Cough....

That said - overall - I think the Eagles should take a very long hard look at their medical staff, and how they diagnose and treat injuries, because some things simply do not add up when looking at the injuries overall during this and past seasons.

Jay Ajayi, Ronald Darby, Brandon Graham, Golden Tate, and Jordan Hicks are at the ends of their current deals. There's little money to pay them next year. Peters will be gone after this year and replacing a starting left tackle will be expensive too. Wentz isn't the same QB he was before his knee injury, what he lost is what made him a top shelf QB. Nothing I see portends a perennial playoff team.

Aw so it was a fluke when Graham stripped the ball in the 4th quarter from Tommy Boy....
Or it was a fluke Foles matched TD's with Brady?

I want to get this right so were all on the same page!

The fluke started game one and ended with SB. Try keeping up.

Did you take that breath yet.

A fracture in the vertebrae is not "nothing." Ever. It's a lot easier to get a serious injury when you already have a fracture than if you don't.

Then you need to resign immediately if you don't understand the simple concept that an already-fractured vertebrae is easier to break more seriously than one that is fully intact. Anyone who understands high-school physics should understand that.

I never said it wasn’t dipshit. I said that some vertebrae fractures aren’t that big of a deal. Try kinesiology or something that deals with motion and the human body. Better yet and understanding of the differing parts of the vertebrae, or how a spinous process fracture in the cervical region is different than the thoracic region .
