Will he return, is he done for the season what is going on here all these rumors bay torn acl even though it hasnt been confirmed. Mri later today. I feel like that rams fan in the middle of the eagles fans. Laurens at 97. 5 the fanatic trying to sort this out hi there lauren. Hi, mike, a are hi alex. Partial tear full tear of the acl whatever it is, it is tearing this community apart and lines at 97. 59 fanatic starting to blow up. People not too happen bye is what happening in the game so far and understandably so. Mums the word from the team but everyone has that notification when that tweet comes out we will know what the mri reveals. Lets look at plate were talking about. Four plays before the final pass, wentz scrapple also, decide to go for it, dives in the end zone the lineman attempted to stop him and he took a hard hit to the knee but he stayed in the game finish the play and then we knew it was all bad. He was on the side line, in the tents with trainers and then went back to the locker room with a towel over his head looking a little sad. Doug pederson called on backup nick foles formally eagles starting quarterback and no matter how well he play is it is reminder of wentz absence. Foles says he was ready to do what he had to do for the team you just to have do what you have to do. You go in there a lot of times you are just trying to find completions, trying to play fast because it has been a while. You try to pick up the speed as much as you can. Dont make a bad play worse. You go in there and just trying to get the win. Reporter they made it happen. Last touchdown as we just saw would come from Brandon Graham after recovering the fumble. Fortythree35 victory push them to 11two, best record in the nfl and they have clinched nfc east division with that win. Man, it is hard to celebrate when Something Like this happens. It has been a tough season in the nfl. Some of the leagues biggest stars have fallen victory to injure, alex. Aaron rodgers Odell Beckham junior, jj watts our very own zach ertz got injured and didnt play this past game but we have to hope for the best when it comes to carson wentz and seeing the doctors today. Fans worried about what will happen and that is all we can do is wait. Yeah were down to hope at this point. Speaking of the doctors what they have to say we have a doctor right here that we will talk to doctor mike about this. Hi, doctor mike. Hello. What up. So many people, i have to be honest and we are rational ice this and hope for best and people are saying he is walking, it cant that be bad he is not on crutches. We need to you clear everything up with an acl injury. Do we have that picture that shows exactly what were talking about, that is anterior cruciate ligament and that is what was injured we think. Now we dont have an mri that will happen this morning im sure but bottom line is that in talking with our Sports Medicine people and orthopedic doctors at penn bottom line it is hard to make a diagnosis of a minor tear of the anterior crucial ligament and fact that there is all of this being said and information was leaked makes me unfortunately think this may be a severe injury. Other issue he was walking which is common. You can have a complete tear and walk. Now look at that do you see that will leg was extended and twisted, that is exactly what happened to precipitate an acl we just showed video of him walking. Do you see that right both side. So just one more thing with the walking because that seems to be main point he is walking , fine. Do you think it is not as intense, not a full acl tear because he is walking or no matter what you can walk. We need an mri. We need date a he will get that. The thing about acl tears people dont realize it is so common, 400,000 surgeries a year for acl tears. The thing is fit is torn yes he will be out for the season and will need surgery, we will use a cadaver graft and lots of rehab. No matter how big or minor either way it will require surgery. It depends on the extent of the injury but my fear my thoughts are that it is is he veer. Okay. Heres the knee. A beautiful piece of machinery that can cause lots of problems. That thing in the back is what he tore. No, it is anterior cruciate ligament. It is behind the patella and what happens is when you twist and hyper extend meaning you get that straightened out that is when you tear that acl. What happens is you can many times you hear a loud pop. Yeah. And people immediately know this is a feared injury among professional athletes because it is very common and it tests your medal f anyone has medal it is him and he will be able to get through this. He didnt even tell his teammates he had it. The fact that he made a touchdown and three plays after. You kind of knew on the one play he scored he was wide opened to run in and he didnt run. I think he knew. Im not a sports comment taiter but everyone is talking gloom and doom. This team has been injured before and come back. I firmly believe that they will be a contender because you never say never in medicine and you never say medicine in sports. Yeah, lets get in there. Thank you. A lot of people talking about video carson wentz getting off the plane we tweet that had out and i put it on instagram too if you want to see that because it is interesting. You can tear your acl and still walk. But the walk is a struggle if you look at that video. Thanks, doctor mike. Search on for tw drivers in a bizarre hit and run that killed a woman in kensington. It seems like murder. Victim was pushed out of the moving pickup truck and run over by a car that was falling behind. It happened on the 3,000 block of frankford avenue early sunday just before 2 00 a. M. Woman died at the scene. Witnesses say both drivers kept on going. Im shocked when they said there was a car accident, i thought somebody beat her. Her head was really messed up. Scar that i something lick that could happen and no one would stop to see if she was okay or nothing. Just senseless. My heart goes out to the family. Police are on the look out for silver ford f150 with the missing tailgate and extended cab and they are searching for a black Dodge Charger month. Man has not been identified. Well President Trump is weighing deeper into alabamas Pivotal Senate race as voters get ready to head to the polls tomorrow at this very same time. When you say deeper, he is making robo calls. Leaving voice messages for folks. Roy moore is denying allegations he molested teenage girls but he has been out of the public eye doug, for a little bit. Laying low. Reporter he has i guess hoping that the current lead that he has in recent polls will Carry Forward to election day which is tomorrow. We will see. These polls show that this race is still within margin of error, President Trump thinks he can push his republican date, over the top. As they begin tday in the campaign roy moore and doug jones are pursuing two very different stratence one Campaign Appearance another and moore relying on last minute push from president trum hospital recorded this robo call for vote for roy moore. His vote is our Republican Senate and its needed. We need roythe Republican Senate. We will win and we will win make America Great again. Reporter after initial weariness the president is all in for moore former alabama judge who has faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct, charges he denied over weekend. I did not know them, i never molested anyone, and for them to say that i dont know why they are saying it, but it is not true. Doug jones meantime is relying on new jersey democratic senator corry book er and others, black voters who could ultimately determine the outcome of this race. We know who we are alabama. We know who we are. This is an election to tell the world who we are. As far as president s robo calls are concerned we always debate impact these kinds oven doors. S have in races but one thing to keep in mind trump won alabama by 28 points last year so he is banking on his popularity to really help moore in these final hours. All of the tape they find of roy moore from the past years things they said, three or four years ago he said country would be better off if we didnt have any amendments passed. The tenth amendment. All these different tapes from his pennsylvania coming forward. It doesnt affect the polls. He is still up in the polls in alabama. Big day too many in that state for sure.
