Colts place Wentz on COVID-19 list [View all]
The Indianapolis Colts placed quarterback Carson Wentz on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, the team announced.
Wentz, who is unvaccinated, could miss the Colts' Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders if he tested positive for COVID-19. He would be out for five days if he is a close contact, which means he still could play, according to NFL protocol.
If Wentz doesn't clear protocol, Colts second-string quarterback Sam Ehlinger is expected to start Sunday in Indianapolis. The Colts won their Week 16 contest against the Arizona Cardinals despite more than a dozen players on the reserve/COVID-19 list being absent.
A total of 106 NFL players went on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday,
pushing the total to 521 players in December.
The Colts (9-6) host the Raiders (8-7) at 1 p.m. EST Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
