Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson proved classy after the win over the Eagles when he inquired about Carson Wentz’s status.
The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a stunning blow during the wild-card matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, losing starting quarterback Carson Wentz for the remainder of the game after he suffered a head injury during a collision with defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. No penalty was called on the play.
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson knows just how devastating the loss can be, empathizing with Philadelphia’s signal-caller and offense as a whole.
“It was tough to see Carson go down,” Wilson said after the win. “He’s such a tremendous football player and had a great year. I don’t really know what his status was fully. To be honest with you, I thought Josh [McCown] came in and did a great job, too . . . It shows you how important the position is and he did a great job of that.”
Immediately following the game, Wilson and Eagles coach Doug Pederson shared a hug and handshake on the field. Wilson promptly inquired about Wentz’s status. The moment was caught on video.

Although no flag was thrown at the time, Clowney’s hit on Wentz remains controversial – depending on who you ask.
“I didn’t see the play so I can’t really answer on that in particular,” Wilson explained. “I know they are trying to protect the players and stuff like that, but I didn’t get to see the play, unfortunately.”
