Durability Story · Watch

Carson Wentz's durability file isn’t one dramatic injury — it’s a pattern. The same lower-body themes keep resurfacing. Evidence check: injury reports across 5 different seasons; 2018 was the rough one at 6 missed; longest on-report absence ran 4 weeks in 2018 (Wk 16–19); reinjury band sits at Moderate. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, keep Carson on a shorter leash: playable, but with a backup plan if the next report turns south.

Based on injury history + recent reporting. Not a medical diagnosis.
