Eagles' Carson Wentz says he still intends to play in Week 1

Nick Foles would 'love' opportunity to be starter again

Nick Foles would 'love' opportunity to be starter again

Wentz said Tuesday that he has begun the running portion of his rehab from a torn ACL in his left knee, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Nearly three months later, nothing has changed.

Wentz is confident he doesn't have to make an appearance in the preseason to achieve that objective, but he'd be beating the most optimistic timeline after tearing up his knee December 10.

"We've started the running progression and all those things", Wentz said at the NovaCare Complex. "I feel really good and feel like I'm right on course". "It's such a fluid process, it's so hard to put a time frame and a timetable on these things".

Several Eagles players spoke on the second day of the team's offseason conditioning program.

Yes, there was some personal jealousy when backup quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles hoisted the Lombardi Trophy. He added that he wouldn't have to play in the preseason to be ready. I think I'm always going to learn.

"You grow up wanting to do that", Wentz said. "I can assure you that I'll be smart about it".

"It was definitely a challenge", Wentz said.

For the fans and teammates that have gotten to know Wentz over the last few years, seeing the quarterback's competitive mindset of wanting to be ready to go for the opener shouldn't come as a surprise at all. I know a lot of guys gained an bad lot of respect for him staying engaged.

"It's human nature to want to be on that podium, to be that guy. To not be able to be up there, I wouldn't rather have anyone else up there other than Nick [Foles]".

Foles recently said during a radio interview in Texas that he wanted to get another opportunity to start, but that he was also comfortable returning to Philadelphia as Wentz's backup. I'll be ready to go whenever they need me.

As everyone knows, one of the biggest questions surrounding the Eagles has been whether Carson Wentz would be healthy enough for Week 1 next season, and unfortunately it's still way too early to know that answer.
