Wentz will be able to get back on the field after suffering a foot injury and the answer may not be known for a while.

Word from the team on Saturday was that there’s no timetable and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the initial treatment plan won’t bring one into focus for a bit.


Rapoport reports that Wentz is going to rest his foot and do other rehab work over the next few days rather than have surgery. If all goes well, Wentz could be able to play in the season opener. If not, surgery will be back on the table and an operation is expected to keep him out for the start of the regular season.

The ultimate answer to the question of Wentz’s return date will be of interest to the Eagles as well. If he plays 75 percent of the offensive snaps this year or 70 percent while piloting the Colts to the playoffs, the Eagles get a first-round pick in 2022. If not, a second-rounder goes to Philadelphia.

This makes it sound like plantar fasciitis

Give Eason a shot but I’m really not optimistic. From the camp reports, sounds like he’s check down Charlie.

"check down Charlie"? If so, he will become a Brissett clone.

Where is Chad Kelly when we need him?

He is available, I dont see him penciled in as a starter at the other 31 teams

Based on one practice, where the Colts were purposely working on 3rd and short situations, and you guys wanna call him "check down charlie"

Gimme a break, let's give the a realistic opportunity before labeling him.

That’s how I’m reading this.

And the fact that they’re tossing this Hail Mary now instead of just having the surgery tells me the surgery won’t be as minor as they’d like us to believe.

The season is circling the drain at this point. I fully expect him to miss most, if not all, of the season.

Nobody know what info Wentz got when he made his decision. Maybe rest has a 90% chance to work, we have no idea. It sounds like he may miss a few games. Gives us a chance to see what we have in Eason. This is a well rounded team. The sky isn’t falling. We took a hit. This is way better than when what’s his name retired on us before the season. Plus may save our first.

The initial claim, if I remember correctly, was that the surgery would have him back somewhere around week 1. If that’s accurate, there was really no reason not to have the surgery now.

It feels like this is a last ditched effort to avoid what would be a major surgery.

I take everything they say with a HUGE grain of salt. They are inveterate liars when it comes to quarterback injuries.
