Acro.. mio…clavicular.. His shoulder. His AC joint is injured. The AC joint is a complicated joint which means Dak has pain when he moves his hand or arm above his shoulder. He will have pain throwing the football downfield. Trouble making a long pass where the Eagles defense is weakest. That’s to the Eagles advantage. Dak can make underhand passes but that’s not allowed when a receiver is past the line of scrimmage. Short passes in the backfield are much easier to defend against because the receiver is close to a lot of defensive players. In addition, Dak will be getting hit by the Eagles pass rush including Fletcher Cox, a very big guy who knows how to sack quaterbacks.
Carson Wentz is healthier and playing better than ever. Not just better, much better. Wentz is young. He’s only 26 and he’s been improving as the Eagles receivers have been getting injured. His acromioclavicular joint is better than ever while Dak’s is injured. Eagles 37 – 29
