Dealing with one sprained ankle is bad enough. Dealing with both being sprained at once must be miserable. That's exactly what Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz is dealing with.
On Wednesday, Wentz spoke to the media following practice for the Colts, of which he did not participate due to the injury.
Via Taylor Tannebaum of WTHR, Wentz is “throwing the kitchen sink” at the injury.
A boot-less Carson Wentz, talking about both sprained ankles. Says right is much worse than left. Still sore. Last 48 hours:

Jacob Eason had to come in against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday for the Colts after Wentz hobbled off. An interception right into the lap of Jalen Ramsey late in the 4th quarter sealed the fate of Indianapolis.
Following the game, Quenton Nelson put some of the responsibility on the offensive line.
“His toughness, shoot — all the times he’s gotten hit, all the times he’s gotten up? It’s on a different level. He hasn’t complained once. We need to be better up front … if we give him more time, he can play even better.”
