The decision has been made to undergo surgery and remove it. 5-12 weeks.

HC Frank Reich says Wentz had an old foot injury dating back to perhaps high school according to doctors. Over time, the broken bone came loose and caused pain. Reich said the decision on surgery was very clear cut for their doctors and outside doctors, according to the tweet. Other tweets on the matter have the Colts optimistic Wentz can return on the earlier end of the timeline. Wentz will be able to throw during walkthroughs and the team added in 2-3 weeks they should have a better idea of Wentz's overall timeframe. For now, Eason is the team's QB1.

Colts QB Carson Wentz will rest and rehab his foot injury over then next few days, rather than have immediate surgery.

The hope is the rest will allow Wentz to avoid surgery and be on track to play in Week 1 against the Seahawks. If the rest doesn’t immediately help, then surgery may be the answer and it’s unknown how long he would be out for if he does have to get surgery. Jacob Eason I has been getting time running as the first-team quarterback while Wentz is out and the Colts also signed Brett Hundley. At the very least, the connections on offense could be a bit shaky from the outset once Wentz does return and gets the timing down with the offense.

I'm told the Wentz foot injury involves a bone and a ligament... Colts had been hoping for better news, are bracing for possible surgery

For now, Jacob Eason and rookie Sam Ehlinger are the only QBs behind Carson Wentz on the depth chart. It appears Wentz could need surgery which would lengthen a return timeline.

Former Eagles QB Carson Wentz has been traded to the Indianapolis Colts, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Eagles received draft compensation in return.

Carson Wentz reunites with Frank Reich in Indy and gets a chance to revive his career after injuries and poor performance derailed much of the past two seasons. This also opens the starting QB job in Philly for Jalen Hurts.

Prior to the trade, our John Paulsen had Wentz and Hurts ranked 28th and 29th in his 'Never Too Early' rankings. That will change for the better for both signal callers.

Eagles are expected to trade Carson Wentz in the coming days in what would be the latest blockbuster QB deal to rock the NFL, sources tell @mortreport and me. The most pertinent questions now become where, when and for what. But it could happen as early as this week.

Sources say that teams have begun calling the Eagles on their former starter Wentz, plotting a roadmap for a potential trade as teams get closer to the start of the league year.

The Eagles are not in a hurry to trade Wentz -- and in fact as of now intend for him to return for 2021 under new coach Nick Sirianni -- but they did field the calls and discussed the issue. GM Howie Roseman will almost always listen, and this is no different.

The Colts are mentioned by both Rapoport and Garafolo, but there are reportedly other teams interested as well. Philly would be left with $34 million in dead money if they were able to trade Wentz, but there's no harm in answering calls.

Doug Pederson said Monday that rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts will start the season finale against Washington, which is meaningless for the Eagles but will make Washington the NFC East champion if the visitors win.

“Definitely want to continue to evaluate, not only him but the rest of the team, and where we are moving forward,” Pederson said.

Hurts wasn't great in Week 16, a loss to a Dallas and a defense that has struggled at times this year. But the Eagles want to continue to get a look at Hurts, as has been reported since he took over the starting job. There will be lots of decisions to make this offseason in Philly, from QB to coach to GM.

Jalen Hurts will make his third career start against the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas on Sunday.

Carson Wentz

No shock here as even in a loss to the Cardinals Hurts was again dynamic. Reports say Wentz now wants out of Philly if regulated to a backup next season, and as of now, it looks like the Eagles will be sticking with Hurts for the long term

Jalen Hurts has started only two games. His long-term future is still murky, but the Eagles’ quarterback picture for the next nine months is crystal clear. Barring injury, Hurts will be the Eagles’ starting quarterback in Week 1 of the 2021 season, and denying that inevitability is as obtuse as Doug Pederson choosing to wait a day before declaring Hurts next week’s starter.

Wentz has already asked to be moved if Hurts is going to be the starter, according to reports. The author thinks some team will come calling for Wentz and that Wentz will likely play well for his new team next season. The story added in his first two starts, Hurts has piled up 505 passing yards and an NFL-record 169 rushing yards. Against the league’s No. 2 and No. 9 defense, per DVOA, Hurts has led the Eagles to 24 and 26 points, their third- and fifth-highest outputs of the season, respectively.
