Season over for Eagles’ Wentz

Carson Wentz got the Eagles this far. Now, it’s up to Nick Foles to deliver Philadelphia its first Super Bowl title.

Wentz has a torn left ACL and will miss the rest of the season and playoffs, forcing the NFC East champions to turn to a familiar backup who once had one of the greatest statistical seasons in NFL history.

“The reason we got Nick Foles is for situations like this. I’m excited for Nick,” coach

Doug Pederson said Monday. “I hate it for Carson Wentz. I hate it for the season that he’s been having. But at the same time, it’s been the next-man-up mentality and that’s how we approach it.”

Wentz was a favorite in the NFL MVP race during a breakout sophomore season. He threw for 3,296 yards and set a franchise single-season record with an NFL-leading 33 touchdown passes while tossing just seven interceptions.

The NFL is checking whether concussion protocol was properly followed Sunday when Texans quarterback Tom Sav

age was allowed to briefly return to action after a disturbing hit in the end zone that left him with his hands quivering.

League spokesman Joe Lockhart said the NFL and the players’ association “together will conduct a thorough review of the incident focused on whether the protocol was properly followed, but we’re also continuing looking at the protocol to look for ways to improve and strengthen it.”

The NFL Network announced it has suspended analysts Marshall Faulk, Ike

Taylor and Heath Evans — all former players — as it investigates a sexual harassment allegation brought by a former wardrobe stylist at the network. Her suit, according to Bloomberg, also names Don

ovan McNabb, Warren Sapp and executive producer Eric Weinberger, who now runs Bill Simmons’ The Ringer web site. The Packers are evaluating tests on

Aaron Rodgers’ surgically repaired right collarbone to determine if the quarterback can return for Green Bay’s game this weekend against Carolina.
