Wentz, Eagles continue to soar

-

Carson Wentz threw four touchdown passes, and the Eagles overcame losing ninetime Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters in a 34- 24 win over the visiting Redskins.

Wentz threw for 268 yards and ran for a careerbest 63 to lead the NFL- best Eagles ( 6- 1) to their fifth consecutiv­e win. But the victory was costly because Peters was carted off the field with a knee injury in the third quarter.

Kirk Cousins threw for 303 yards and three touchdowns for the Redskins ( 3- 3).

Cutler outwith rib injury

Dolphins coach Adam Gase said quarterbac­k Jay Cutler has multiple cracked ribs, making it unlikely he’ll play Thursday at Baltimore. Matt Moore is expected to start in Cutler’s place.

More injury news

Browns Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas will undergo season- ending surgery on a torn left biceps. Thomas played 10,363 consecutiv­e snaps before leaving the game Sunday, ending what is believed to be the longest consecutiv­e- plays streak in NFL history.

Colts safety and firstround pick Malik Hooker will miss the rest of the season after injuring his right knee Sunday.

This and that

Disgruntle­d Steelers receiver Martavis Bryant didn’t show up for meetings because of an illness. He refueled his trade request late Sunday on Instgram.

Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch appealed his one- game suspension for bumping an official. A decision is expected Tuesday.

The NFL suspended Vikings safety Andrew Sendejo one game for his hit on Ravens wide receiver Mike Wallace.

Broncos coach Vance Joseph is sticking with Trevor Siemian as his starting quarterbac­k.
