A bit of a surprise: Colts QB Carson Wentz is practicing today, which means starting Sunday in Tennessee could be in play.


*****************************


Even more of a surprise: Wentz is moving around fine in individual drills, and throwing completely normal. This bodes very well for Sunday.

Now we have a 10 percent chance. Roughly.

If Wentz' mobility is limited because of the ankle injuries, he may be under strict orders to not even try to escape the pass rushes unless it's only a step or two forward, backwards, or sideways (and/or stepping up in the pocket.) And if that's the case, we may get a lot of offensive holding penalties with our blockers knowing this.

If by some minor miracle his ankles are completely healed by Sunday afternoon, disregard everything in my previous paragraph ...... in fact, you may want to disregard it anyway.

Other notes from Colts practice:

— No sign of RT Braden Smith, which means they'll likely turn to Julién Davenport again

— CB Xavier Rhodes was practicing

— LB Darius Leonard was practicing, and wearing a 13 jersey in honor TY Hilton (TY can return to practice as early as next week)

Only LB Jordan Glasgow and RT Braden Smith ruled OUT for Sunday at this time.

QB Carson Wentz was limited today. He’ll be a game-time decision.

If Wentz can’t go, Colts coach Frank Reich wouldn’t commit to starting Jacob Eason. Said the team is still working through its options.

I must admit, I was really sour on the guy before the season started, but he's played well and he's a tough SOB if he can get thru this.

Where the hell is Braden Smith? This will be the 2nd straight game he's out injured with a "foot" and "thumb". Is the foot broken? Is it missing? Is the thumb broken? Is it up his butt? I fully expect him to be back for next week against Miami or be put on IR. It seems he got paid and is now stealing a paycheck.

Earlier this week, Reich characterized Smith's foot injury as a strain.

Since the Colts opted to not place Braden on the IR when it happened - they originally thought it would heal up before a 3 week period on the IR. Yes, I would hope that he could be back to practice at some point next week.

His toughness should never be questioned as a Colt. Wentz less mobile. is better thanany backup we have.

Could be the best thing Carson has ever had happen. He knows now (hopefully). Be Phillip. get it out quick or throw it away

Agreed. Wentz has certainly not been the problem and seems to be tough as hell so far.

Wentz has won me over big time. When healthy, he is a top tier QB. His competitiveness is 2nd to none. The only issue I worried about was what a lot of the media and Philly fans were saying, that he may be broken mentally. Well, he sure as hell isn't broken mentally, that's for damn sure.
