Colts head coach Frank Reich revealed the news to reporters on Monday.
Wentz was injured on a third-and-five play in the fourth quarter. While facing pressure from Rams star defensive lineman Aaron Donald, Wentz attempted to scramble, but the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year slammed him to the ground and rolled up his ankle on the incomplete pass.
"I know Carson has a tremendous threshold for pain," Reich said, via The Athletic. "My history with Carson: He's an incredibly fast healer. If there's any chance he can play with these, he'll play."
