Carson Wentz Needs 11-On-11 Work Before Being Cleared
6 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) will likely need a week of 11-on-11 drills before he'll be cleared to play in Week 1. Wentz opened training camp doing 11-on-11 work but has been backed off since as the team plays it cautious with him. As long as Wentz doesn't suffer any setbacks from here on out, he should be able to open Week 1 as the starter. If he doesn't, Nick Foles will get the gig. Wentz is a top-five fantasy talent at his position, but the uncertainty regarding his Week 1 status has dropped his draft stock a little.
