WESTFIELD — Colts quarterback Carson Wentz will undergo surgery Monday afternoon to excise a piece of his bone from his left metatarsal, a procedure that will keep the Indianapolis starter out for five to 12 weeks.
Doctors determined that Wentz unknowingly suffered a broken foot at some point in his career, likely in high school, and when the quarterback planted on his foot in practice last Thursday, a piece of the bone came loose.
Wentz and the Colts had two options after getting opinions from their team doctors and from Dr. Robert Anderson, the NFL's foremost specialist on the foot.
