After failing to secure a team at the start of the 2023 NFL season, Carson Wentz is back. The experienced quarterback has been signed by a team that recently won the Super Bowl to strengthen their roster.

Carson Wentz’s career has seen its share of ups and downs. He entered the NFL as the 2nd overall pick in the 2016 Draft, with high expectations for his impact on the league.

Unfortunately, injuries have plagued his entire career. The quarterback’s struggle with injuries has limited his playing time, but he now has another opportunity to prove he’s still an elite player capable of leading an offense.

The former North Dakota State player desired to join the 2023 season, but no team expressed interest in signing him. Wentz stated he was physically ready to play, but his injury history appeared to deter teams from hiring him.

However, a team has chosen to have faith in him and bring the quarterback on board for the latter half of the season. The Los Angeles Rams have signed the former 2nd overall pick to enhance their roster with added experience, per Adam Schefter.

Wentz’s arrival is not a coincidence. The Rams are once again grappling with quarterback injuries, with both Matthew Stafford and Stetson Bennett currently dealing with health issues.

According to reports, Stafford will remain the team’s starter, with Wentz serving as his backup. The Rams want to have a veteran quarterback ready to step in if needed, ensuring they are well-prepared in case Stafford can’t continue.
