Colts lose 1st-round pick after Carson Wentz hits snap count condition

Though it won’t be officially official until the regular season comes to an end, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz essentially met the trade condition for snaps played that turns the Philadelphia Eagles’ second-round pick into a first-rounder during Saturday night’s win over the New England Patriots.

The rest is seemingly just a formality in terms of what the official number will be when it comes to snaps played. It’s not an exact science because we are still dealing with projections over the final three games of the season.

But if things remain relatively the same in terms of Wentz’s playing time and the average of team snaps over the final three games then this matchup against the Patriots is the one that assured the Eagles of a first-round pick.
