"Wentz grimaced in pain throughout the Vikings' 37-10 loss, the result of a torn labrum and fractured shoulder socket he suffered Oct. 5 when he dislocated the shoulder during a Week 5 game against the Cleveland Browns. He played with the injury in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles after using the Vikings' bye week to rest and recover, but a short week of preparation entering Thursday night's game left the shoulder particularly tender."
"saying he bears no ill will toward the franchise and making clear he did not want coach Kevin O'Connell to remove him from last Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. "This isn't my first rodeo," said Wentz, who was placed on injured reserve this week and soon will have season-ending surgery to repair his left shoulder. "I'm not an idiot.

Carson Wentz said he bears no ill will toward the Minnesota Vikings and did not want coach Kevin O'Connell to remove him from the game. He was placed on injured reserve and will have surgery to repair a left shoulder torn labrum and fractured socket suffered Oct. 5 when he dislocated the shoulder against the Browns. Wentz played with the injury in Week 7 after the bye, but the short week before the Chargers matchup left the shoulder especially tender. He grimaced in pain during the 37-10 loss and was replaced with 1:56 remaining. After his final play Wentz hurled his helmet, covered his face, and appeared to hold back tears.
