Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is one of the most consistent players in the NFL; you can always count on him sustaining an injury at some point in the season. That point has finally arrived leading up to Week 15.

Wentz is likely out for Sunday night's primetime matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. It's quite a coincidence that it was a year ago this week that Wentz suffered a torn ACL against the Rams. Maybe the Rams have just been bad luck for Carson?

This time around his diagnosed injury is a fractured vertebrae, so his return for this season is unlikely according to multiple reports. Carson Wentz has not had a single injury-free season since he entered the league in 2016. In his rookie year he sustained a hairline rib fracture. Now that his back injury is in the mix, that's a perfect three-for-three with injuries as a pro.

With Wentz going down once again, should the Philadelphia Eagles be concerned about his longevity? The answer is a resounding yes.

After this most recent injury, the Eagles are likely starting to sweat. Wentz was already struggling getting back into form this season from his ACL injury, which is still a toss up if he is fully recovered. ACL injuries are always tricky and vary from player to player in all sports.

Of course, it hasn't helped that the Eagles' offensive line is constantly shuffling. There isn't much stability there due to injuries as well, so Wentz ends up dancing around in the pocket or is forced to take off. It explains why the Eagles like to call play action for so much, allowing him to get out of the pocket to avoid pressure and use his unique skillset that made him a legitimate MVP candidate in 2017.

Injuries are obviously an uncontrollable aspect of sports, but there are ways to reduce their likelihood. This is where the Eagles' management comes in. They have to build a strong offensive line for Wentz if they want him to be the future. At the rate he is going, Carson won't have a future with the Eagles or the league in general.

By building a stable offensive line, Wentz won't be forced to scramble as often. Remember that he tore his ACL while diving for the end zone, which is the unfortunate side of mobile quarterbacks. The likelihood of them suffering injuries is high because they like to take off when the pocket collapses. It's essentially a gift and curse because of the damage they can do to defenses while also making themselves vulnerable.

The lack of a running threat has also played a part in how much pressure Wentz receives. Without a real threat of pounding the rock, defenses can unleash a barrage of blitzes and linemen can tee off rather than maintaining gap responsibilities. This season, plenty of defensive coordinators have most likely drooled at the opportunity to face the Eagles' offense. No running threat and instability along the line make it more enticing to dial up extra pressure.

Philadelphia has to make it a priority this offseason to help Wentz stay off the ground. Strengthening the offensive line is vital, as well as adding weapons at receiver. They can tell Wentz to reduce his scrambles, but messing with a player's instincts is not ideal.

At this point, it's on the Eagles to put him in a position to succeed. We've seen what he can do when they accomplish that. Otherwise, they're going to have to start searching for his replacement much sooner than anybody would've imagined when he came into the league.
