The Philadelphia Eagles' injury woes are far from over, even with the season nearing its conclusion, but this is the worst news yet.
Quarterback Carson Wentz left Sunday's NFC Wild Card Game against the Seattle Seahawks after taking a nasty helmet-to-helmet hit from Jadeveon Clowney, and this latest update on his status is certainly not good.
Sal Paolantonio reports that Carson Wentz’s wife has been escorted to Eagles locker area.

Once Wentz was removed from medical tent to locker room for further concussion testing, it raised level of concern for @Eagles.
It’s a medical decision. No official word yet.
Wentz is already questionable to return with what seems concussion-like symptoms, and now the fact his wife has been brought back to the Eagles locker room because there's a more significant concern regarding his health is scary.
One can only hope this doesn't indicate he's dealing with a more serious neck/head issue beyond what's been reported thus far.
Injury Update: QB Carson Wentz is being evaluated for a head injury and is questionable to return.

Right now, the Eagles have Josh McCown under center for the time being, and while they've managed to move the ball a bit, there's just no way that's going to be a viable solution for Philly. Stay tuned for updates on Wentz's status as we head to halftime.
