The Indianapolis Colts could play a crucial Week 17 game without their starting quarterback. Carson Wentz — who is unvaccinated — was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.
Wentz's status for the team's Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders depends on whether Wentz tested positive for COVID-19. Since he's unvaccinated, a positive test would result in Wentz spending 10 days on the reserve/COVID-19 list. He would be eligible to return prior to the team's Week 18 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
If Wentz was a close contact to someone who tested positive, he must quarantine for five days.
