So dang proud of this team and how we battled and overcame so much this season. Not the ending we envisioned but we will all grow and be stronger because of it! The fight and resiliency that this team displayed was so impressive. Love these guys! Also, appreciate the thoughts and prayers— Im feeling good today and will be just fine! Head injuries are a scary thing so I appreciate everybody’s thoughts and prayers. Hate not being out there to finish it out with my guys because of a play like that, but it’s the unfortunate part of this game. It’s all in Gods plan, not mine! Trusting in him ?? Philly, year 4 was one fun ride. Appreciate the love and support— especially the real ones who were with us through the highs and lows ?? Onward to next year… big things comin’, believe that! #flyeaglesfly

CelebNSports247.com reports that teammates of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz took issue with the hit by Seattle Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney that knocked Wentz out.

Eagles left tackle Jason Peters confronted Jadeveon Clowney on the field after seeing a replay of the hit in which Clowney made contact with Carson Wentz‘ helmet and upper back as they slammed into the turf.

Wentz left with a head injury a short time later and did not return, playing only eight snaps in Philadelphia’s 17-9 loss to Seattle, according to ESPN.

On Monday following Sunday’s game, Wentz took to social media stating.

He wrote:

Eagles left tackle Jason Peters said, “I checked Clowney about it.

He explains:

I checked Clowney about it. He was mouthing, I was mouthing back at him. … I just told him, ‘Man, that’s a dirty play.’ And he’s like, ‘My bad,’ and we just kept playing.

I just kept reminding him, ‘Man, stay off my quarterback.’

I’m a left tackle. I’ve got his back. I’m the blindside. And I just take it personal when somebody is taking a late hit or trying to rough up the quarterback.

Clowney said he was not attempting to injure Wentz.

Clowney said:

It was a bang-bang play. I don’t intend to hurt anybody in this league, let me just put that out there. I’ve been down the injury road; it’s not fun. My intention was not to hurt him. I was just playing fast.

Later, Clowney acknowledged that he expects to get some blowback for the hit.
