Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was diagnosed with a torn ACL Monday, officially ending his MVP-level campaign.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson announced the diagnosis to reporters.

Wentz, 24, was hurt on a third-quarter touchdown run that was called back due to a holding penalty in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Rams. He remained in the game for the remainder of the drive and hit Alshon Jeffery on a touchdown pass before sitting out the fourth quarter.

Nick Foles replaced Wentz and helped lead a comeback effort on the way to a 43-35 win for the Eagles that clinched the NFC East.
