Carson Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles were coming off a bye week before Sunday’s showdown with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots and many football fans watching the game on TV thought the Eagles QB spent some of that time off getting a sleeve tattoo on his right arm.
He did not.
The QB, who has been having trouble with the Patriots’ stingy/physical defense, was simply wearing a camouflage arm sleeve on his throwing arm. Did it look like a big tattoo? Maybe at first glance but it quickly became easy to spot that it wasn’t some new ink.
See for yourself:

Yup, not a tattoo.
Fans still seemed confused, though:
I can’t be the only one who thinks Carson Wentz got a full tattoo sleeve every time they show him right

I thought Carson Wentz got some new tattoos over the week. Then I put my glasses on and realized it’s a camouflage arm sleeve. Not sure if that’s a positive sign about the camo arm sleeves or negative about my eyesight

That camouflage pattern sleeve on Carson Wentz's arm looks like tattoos and is so weird.

Wentz gotta get the tattoo sleeve removed. It’s messing him up.
