Carson Wentz’s back fracture is a mystery - San Diego Union-Tribune
A stress fracture is difficult to detect, possible to play through and often shows up late on scans. If this is the case, the worry is for the long term, and the Eagles will be strongly considering shutting him down. I hope it is not a stress fracture. The most common is sponylolysis (stress fracture to the pars, part of the ring of the spinal canal). Healing for sponylolsis is sometimes tricky and slow. For the record, there is no direct relationship between the ACL/LCL injuries Wentz suffered last season and the back fracture.
