One of the worst things about Carson Wentz’s ACL injury is that it doesn’t just impact the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2017 season. The injury could also linger into the team’s 2018 campaign.

Dr. James Andrews, noted orthopedic specialist, was not speaking specifically to Wentz but he told me a short while ago that expectation should be tempered for a player with an ACL surgery to return by start of '18 season.
