NFL sad news:Rams,Carson Wentz announced his resignation immediately after facing….
Carson Wentz flew out to sign with the Los Angeles Rams during their bye week last Wednesday and then rushed back home to North Dakota. Several hours later, his wife went into labor and eventually gave birth to their third daughter last Friday.
“It’s been a whirlwind,” Wentz said. “The whole offseason has been strange for me.”
The current week should be a lot less dramatic for Wentz, who returned to the West Coast last weekend to start his new job as Matthew Stafford’s backup. After being out of the NFL earlier this month, Wentz will be one snap away from playing when the Rams (3-6) host the Seattle Seahawks (6-3) on Sunday (4:25 p.m. ET).
Wentz spent seven years almost exclusively as an NFL starter whenever healthy, so he is in an unfamiliar role in an unfamiliar place. He is cramming with Sean McVay’s playbook and scrambling to get prepared for the opportunity that could present itself soon with the Rams, given Stafford’s recent injury history.
