  • Tosses two scores in blowout win

    Wentz completed 11 of 20 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-3 win over Houston. He added one rushing yard on two attempts.

    Analysis: Wentz opened the scoring with a 51-yard deep ball to Parris Campbell late in the first quarter and added a 28-yard touchdown to Mo Alie-Cox in the third to give the Colts a 17-3 lead, then deferred to Jonathan Taylor and the ground game as the Colts ran away with it. He has quietly amassed an efficient 9:1 TD:INT this season, including multiple touchdown passes in each of the past three games. Wentz will look to keep that streak going on the road in Week 7 against a 49ers team that will be…read more

  • Tops 400 yards in loss

    Wentz completed 25 of 35 passes for 402 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 31-25 overtime loss to the Ravens. He also was sacked twice and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Wentz started the night with a screen pass that Jonathan Taylor took 76 yards for a touchdown, giving the Colts their first first-quarter TD all season. The signal-caller then led his team into the red zone on his second series, only to be sacked while losing a fumble in the process. To begin the third quarter, Wentz added another touchdown thanks to a remarkable contested grab by Michael Pittman that went for 42 yards. Along with his big scoring plays, Wentz made hay with intermediate and…read more

  • Looks healthier heading into Week 5

    Wentz was listed as a full participant on the Colts' initial Week 5 injury report released Thursday, an indication that the team is comfortable with his health after he sprained both of his ankles in a Week 2 loss to the Rams, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports. "I definitely feel much better," Wentz said. "I came out of the [Colts' Week 4 win over the Dolphins] thankfully unscathed. Felt good the next morning and the extra rest here early in the week has definitely helped as well."

    Analysis: The Colts' injury report featured "ankle" rather than "ankles" next to his name, suggesting that he's at least 100 percent recovered from one of the sprains. The other ankle sprain doesn't look like it will bother him much moving forward, either, even though he had a rough outing in his first game coming off the injury in the Week 3 loss to the Titans. Wentz bounced back well in Week 4 with his best performance as a Colt, completing 24 of 32 attempts for 228 yards and two touchdowns while…read more

  • Solid effort in Week 4 win

    Wentz (ankles) completed 24 of 32 passes for 228 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Colts' 27-17 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed five times for eight yards.

    Analysis: Playing through twin ankle sprains for the second straight week, Wentz turned in a solid, mistake-free workmanlike effort to help the Colts garner their first win of the season. The offseason arrival got plenty of help from Jonathan Taylor (16-103-1) on the ground, and he connected with a whopping 10 different pass catchers. Wentz appeared to be moving a bit better than during a Week 3 loss to the Titans, and he's now put together a fantasy-friendly 5:1 TD:INT through four games. Wentz has…read more

  • Active for Sunday's game

    Wentz (ankles) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: As expected, Wentz will continue to tough it out through his ankle woes, and while the QB still isn't 100 percent, he noted heading into Week 4 action that he's "definitely in a better place than last week." With that in mind, it's possible that Wentz will be able to move around better this Sunday than he did last weekend, when he completed 19 of 37 passes for 194 yards and did not record a rushing attempt in the Colts' 25-16 loss to the Titans.

  • Listed as questionable for Week 4

    Wentz (ankles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins after being listed as limited at practice this past week.

    Analysis: That said, there's nothing to suggest that the QB's Week 4 status is in danger after he toughed it out through his ankle woes in the team's loss to the Titans last Sunday. Earlier this week, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin relayed that Wentz was feeling better than he did leading up to Week 3 action, so while the QB still isn't 100 percent, it's plausible that he'll be able to move around better this weekend, assuming he's active as expected.

  • Remains limited in practice

    Wentz (ankles) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: While tending to sprains of both ankles, Wentz only managed one limited practice last week before playing every snap in the Colts' loss to the Titans. Though he didn't attempt a run for the first time all the season and was inaccurate in the pocket (19-for-37 for 194 yards), Wentz appears to have come out of the game in better health. He's turned in a pair of limited practices to begin Week 4, a sign that he's on track to start again Sunday in Miami.

  • In store for limited practice

    Wentz (ankles) will be limited at practice Wednesday, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

    Analysis: That said, head coach Frank Reich believes that the quarterback is in "a better spot" this week after toughing it out through sprains to both ankles in the team's Week 3 loss to the Titans. With that in mind, Reich expects Wentz's mobility to be better this week, and at this stage, there's no doubt regarding the signal-caller's playing status for Sunday's game in Miami. Brett Hundley is once again in line to serve as his top backup this weekend.

  • No touchdowns in loss

    Wentz completed 19 of 37 passes for 194 yards in Sunday's 25-16 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Wentz notably was playing with two banged-up ankles, and despite seeing All-Pro guard Quenton Nelson exit early Sunday, he was able to complete the contest. Although Wentz showed grit in doing so, he didn't make much of an impact as a passer and missed an open Michael Pittman on a would-be touchdown as well. Without a win from his first three games as a Colt, Wentz should be especially eager to taste victory Week 4 versus the Dolphins.

  • Active for Sunday's game

    Wentz (ankles) is listed active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

    Analysis: Per ESPN's Chris Mortensen and Stephen Holder of The Athletic, Wentz -- who injured both of his ankles during Week 2 action -- is slated to start the contest after practicing Friday with heavily-taped ankles and moving around well in the process during the media-access portion of the session. Also in uniform Sunday are Brett Hundley and Jacob Eason, either of whom the Colts could turn to if Wentz struggles or suffers an in-game setback versus Tennessee, though based on how things played out in…read more

  • Expected to start Sunday

    Wentz (ankles), who is questionable on the injury report against Tennessee and will be a game-time decision, is expected to start, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Rapoport adds that Wentz is pushing to play and the Colts have contingency plans in place if he has a setback in warmups or during the game. The Colts activated Brett Hundley from the practice squad Saturday. Hundley would likely play if Wentz can't go since Hundley took the bulk of reps in practice this week over Jacob Eason when Wentz was sidelined. However, Wentz returned to practice Friday and looks set to play even though he was limited in that session.

  • Not seen hindered in practice

    Wentz (ankles), who is questionable on the injury report against Tennessee and will be a game-time decision, appeared to practice without any hindrance Friday, according to Zak Keefer of The Athletic. He was listed as a limited participant in practice Friday on the official injury report.

    Analysis: While Wentz will be a game-time decision, Keefer predicts that he will play unless he has severe swelling from Friday's workouts. If Wentz is ruled out, it's not clear if Brett Hundley or Jacob Eason will start. Head coach Frank Reich would not say Friday which backup would start if Wentz can't play.

  • Game-time decision Sunday

    Wentz (ankles) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against Tennessee. Head coach Frank Reich said Wentz looked OK during the session, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: It sounds like Wentz has a real chance to play, but the team likely will need to see how his sore ankles respond after a day off. If Wentz isn't able to play, practice squad quarterback Brett Hundley could start as he has handled most of the first-team reps ahead of Jacob Eason.

  • Practicing Friday

    Wentz (ankles) was present for practice Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: It remains to be seen how the Colts list his participation level, but this development would appear to give the QB a chance to suit up Sunday against the Titans. Added clarity with regard to Wentz's Week 3 status should arrive no later than Friday afternoon, once the team's final injury report of the week is revealed.

  • Not spotted Thursday

    Wentz (ankle) is not participating in Thursday's practice, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

    Analysis: Wentz is looking increasingly iffy for Sunday's contest against the Titans, especially with back-to-back practice absences to begin the week. The Colts have expressed optimism that Wentz, who is dealing with sprains in both ankles, might be able to display recovery progress in the near future, but he will only have one more chance to upgrade his practice activity before the team's Week 3 matchup. In Wednesday's session, practice squad quarterback Brett Hundley handled most of the first-team…read more

    Wentz (ankles) won't practice Wednesday, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The quarterback noted Wednesday that both of his ankles are still sore, with the right one being of greater concern. Though there's hope that Wentz's injured ankles could respond well to treatment in the next few days, head coach Frank Reich suggested that the team has to prepare as though the veteran quarterback won't be available this weekend, per Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis. As long as Wentz is sidelined, Jacob Eason will handle added practice reps, while Brett Hundley is a…read more

  • Plans to test ankle Wednesday

    Wentz, who is recovering from sprains to both ankles, plans to either take part in practice or work out on the side Wednesday as a test of his health, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The workout should provide an early gauge of whether Wentz is trending toward playing or sitting out the Colts' Week 3 matchup Sunday in Tennessee. According to Garofolo, Wentz was donning a walking boot -- it's unclear on which foot -- as of Monday, but he'll ditch the protection at least temporarily Wednesday during the workout. If Wentz can't go this weekend, the Colts would likely turn the offense over to second-year signal-caller Jacob Eason, who threw an interception among his five pass…read more

  • Both ankles hurting

    Wentz is dealing with injuries to both ankles, not just one, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Wentz was forced out of Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams in the fourth quarter due to what coach Frank Reich initially described as a rolled right ankle, but it now appears that the quarterback is nursing sprains on both the left and right ankles. The Colts will have more information to relay about the severity of Wentz's injuries after he undergoes further testing Monday, but his availability for Sept. 26's contest against the Titans is uncertain. Jacob Eason completed two of five passes for 15…read more

  • Week 3 status TBD

    Colts head coach Frank Reich relayed that Wentz rolled up his right ankle "pretty bad" in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: With regard to the quarterback's status for the Colts' Week 3 game Sept. 26 at Tennessee, Reich noted that at this stage it's "too early to tell." Prior to being replaced by Jacob Eason, Wentz completed 20 of 31 pass attempts for 247 yards with a touchdown and an interception and rushed five times for 37 yards. Wentz will undergo further testing in the coming days to determine the extent of his injury, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Wentz (ankle) was replaced by Jacob Eason in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Wentz completed 25 of 38 passes for 251 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Colts' 28-16 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 23 yards and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: After making a particularly fast recovery from early-August foot surgery, Wentz made his effort to be ready for Week 1 worthwhile by putting together a rock-solid effort in his Colts debut. Considering his complete lack of preseason action and a host of unfamiliar offensive personnel around him, Wentz's performance certainly offers both Colts fans and fantasy managers reason for optimism. He ultimately connected with seven different targets, and the sixth-year signal-caller should have…read more

  • No limitations expected Week 1

    Wentz isn't expected to face any restrictions in his Colts debut Sunday against the Seahawks, despite undergoing foot surgery Aug. 2, Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network report.

    Analysis: While the Colts are expected to proceed with caution with Wentz to whatever extent they can, head coach Frank Reich said Friday that the signal-caller won't be "limited in any way" less than six weeks after undergoing a procedure that was expected to sideline the quarterback for 5-to-12 weeks. Although Reich has been pleased with Wentz's mobility in the pocket in recent practices, the Colts aren't expected to include any designed runs for the 28-year-old in their Week 1 game plan, even though…read more

Superstar left guard Quenton Nelson (questionable - foot) also is on track to play after having a similar surgery the same week as Wentz, while starting left tackle Eric Fisher (Achilles) has been ruled out.

    Analysis: With that, Wentz is in line to start under center in Sunday's season opener against the Seahawks, in the absence of any setbacks in practice the next three days. Assuming Wentz is good to go for the Colts in Week 1, he would have most of his key pass-catching options at his disposal save for T.Y. Hilton (neck), who was placed on injured reserve last week.

    Wentz (foot) went through 11-on-11 drills at Thursday's practice, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: A brief stint on the COVID list delayed his return to full-team drills from Monday to Thursday. It shouldn't matter in terms of Week 1 availability, with all signs suggesting the Colts expect Wentz to start against the Seahawks -- a sentiment the QB echoed after Thursday's practice, per George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin. Fellow QB Sam Ehlinger (knee) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, leaving Wentz and Jacob Eason as the only signal-callers on Indy's 53-man roster. Wentz is…read more

    The Colts activated Wentz (foot) from the reserve/COVID list Thursday morning, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Wentz, WR Zach Pascal and C Ryan Kelly have been removed from the list in time for Thursday's practice. Wentz had been scheduled for a full practice Monday before he was deemed a close contact of a team employee who tested positive for COVID-19. The quarterback thus seems likely to be a full practice participant Thursday, with the Colts preparing to start him Sept. 12 against Seattle -- six weeks removed from foot surgery.

    Wentz (foot) should be removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list after five days as long as he continues to test negative and remains asymptomatic, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The same goes for WR Zach Pascal and C Ryan Kelly, the other players placed on the list Monday afternoon. All three were close contacts with a staff member who tested positive, ruling them out of practice for the next few days. Wentz still should have time to gear up for the Sept. 12 opener against Seattle. Prior to being deemed a close contact, he was scheduled for a full practice Monday -- the latest milestone in his quick recovery from foot surgery.

    Analysis: Wentz had progressed to the point where he was expected to work in full-team practice periods beginning Monday, but that's on hold for now. It remains to be seen how much time the Colts' top QB is slated to miss, but in the meantime Jacob Eason is in line to handle first-team reps in practice.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old returned to practice in a limited capacity last week, and he's now set to rejoin full-team work at Monday's session. Wentz has been consistently expressing optimism the past couple weeks regarding his outlook for Week 1, and that optimism appears to have been well placed as he continues to ramp up his practice work. He'll have two weeks of practice to get fully up to speed for the Sept. 12 opener against the Seahawks.

    Wentz (foot) is practicing again Tuesday, a sign he responded well to Monday's workload, per Zak Keefer of The Athletic.

    Analysis: Wentz was shown running and making cuts before Monday's session, and he then took part in 7-on-7s with the first-team offense in what was his first practice since late July. Afterward, he was optimistic about his chances of being ready for Week 1, echoing an increasingly popular sentiment. Wentz is pushing for the very front end of his initial recovery timeline of 5-to-12 weeks as he comes back from Aug. 2 surgery to remove a piece of loose bone from the fifth metatarsal of his left foot.

    After handling first-team reps and participating in 7-on-7 drills during Monday's practice, Wentz (foot) indicated that he's optimistic about being ready for Week 1 action, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The report notes that the QB figures to take the occasional maintenance day in the coming weeks, with an eye toward not rushing him and avoiding setbacks, but Wentz's chances of being ready for the start of the regular season are beginning to brighten. With that in mind, Keefer noted following Monday's practice that Wentz "absolutely looked like a guy today who'll be ready to go in three weeks."

    Wentz (foot) is handling first-team reps and participating in 7-on-7 drills at Monday's practice, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Colts posted a video of Wentz running and making cuts in his return to practice Monday, roughly three weeks after having undergone surgery to address a foot injury, but it doesn't appear that the sixth-year pro is being limited to individual drills. For Wentz to already be taking part in 7-on-7 reps seems to be an affirmation of reports that he has a fair shot to recover in time to play Week 1 against the Seahawks on Sept. 12. Wentz initially was given a 5-to-12-week recovery timetable, but…read more

  • To return to practice this week

    Coach Frank Reich said Wentz (foot) will be present on the practice field this week, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: The extent of Wentz' imminent activity isn't clear, but he'll be "limited" and "doing some things" Monday and beyond. As of this past Wednesday, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reported Wentz had attended six straight sessions without a boot or cast on his left foot, and walkthrough reps were on the horizon for the sixth-year pro. At the time he underwent foot surgery on Aug. 2, Wentz was given a vague recovery timeline of 5-to-12 weeks, and he seems to be trending toward the former rather than…read more

  • Could do walk-throughs soon

    Wentz (foot) attended his sixth straight practice Wednesday and should soon begin taking walk-through reps, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Keefer also notes that Wentz hasn't been wearing a boot or cast at practice, now more than two weeks removed from Aug. 2 surgery. Wentz's vague recovery timeline (5-to-12 weeks) creates a wide range of possibilities, but early reports suggest he's doing well in his recovery, with Adam Schefter of ESPN even relaying that the quarterback is "trending toward being available" for the Colts' season opener Sept. 12 against Seattle. In the meantime, Jacob Eason and Sam Ehlinger will compete to be the…read more

  • Could play Week 1

    Wentz (foot) is "trending toward being available" for the Colts' regular-season opener against Seattle on Sept. 12, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The quarterback had surgery Aug. 2 and is still a week away from starting his rehab process, but early signs apparently have been positive for both him and star guard Quenton Nelson, who had the same procedure for the same injury one day after Wentz. It's probably too soon to really know Wentz's status for certain, but the initial recovery estimate of 5-to-12 weeks left the door open for the quarterback to suit up Week 1. In the meantime, Jacob Eason and Sam Ehlinger are getting first-team QB…read more

  • Surgery has no complications

    Wentz's surgery Monday to remove a piece of bone that had broken loose in his left foot revealed no other complications, the Indianapolis Star reports. "Best-case scenario. What's that mean? It means you go in, you remove the (piece of) bone that was in there, you look around, and there was nothing else going on," said head coach Frank Reich.

    Analysis: Wentz will stay off his foot for two weeks before beginning rehab. The timetable for his return is unclear with a range of five to 12 weeks, but that window should narrow once he can begin moving on his feet.

    Wentz will undergo surgery on his left foot Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Before Wentz opted for the procedure, reports indicated that the quarterback would likely miss Week 1 -- and potentially a few more games -- if he underwent surgery. Now that a decision on surgery has been finalized, the Colts are putting Wentz's timeline at 5-to-12 weeks, a window so large that it isn't especially useful. Wentz can be considered doubtful for the start of the regular season, with the Colts not quite ready to rule him out even though they'll be preparing another quarterback for…read more

  • Getting surgery, out for 5-12 weeks

    Wentz (foot) will undergo surgery and is expected to be out for 5-to-12 weeks, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The vague recovery timeline isn't especially helpful, but we at least know Wentz has decided on surgery, making him unlikely to play Week 1. According to coach Frank Reich, Wentz's foot injury is an old problem that may date as far back as high school but didn't need to be addressed seriously until now. Previous reports suggested Wentz would be out for at least the first week or two of the regular season if he needed surgery, but there seems to be widespread agreement that his foot injury isn't…read more

  • Opting for rehab program

    Wentz (foot) won't immediately undergo surgery and will instead begin a rest and rehab program, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Wentz recently met with foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson, and surgery apparently isn't guaranteed to be necessary. The 28-year-old should be available Week 1 if the rehab program goes well, as opposed to the procedure which would likely sideline him beyond mid-September. It's uncertain whether or not the strategy will work, and Wentz could have more limited mobility even if he doesn't go under the knife.

  • Could miss Week 1

    Wentz (foot) would be likely to miss the start of the regular season if he had surgery, but he still hopes to avoid the procedure and suit up Week 1, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Wentz will meet with foot specialist Robert Anderson before coming to a final decision. The quarterback felt a twinge in his foot at the end of Thursday's practice and then was held out Friday while Jacob Eason led the first-team offense. Previous reports suggested any surgery would be minor, but the latest update is saying Wentz could be out beyond mid-September even if he has surgery in early August.

    Wentz may have a minor surgical procedure on his injured foot, but he's still considering multiple options, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Even if he does have surgery, Rapoport adds that the quarterback wouldn't be likely to miss many games, if any at all. Still, it's a major obstacle for Wentz, an injury-prone QB coming off the worst season of his career and now leading a new team with playoff expectations. Jacob Eason filled in as the first-team quarterback at Friday's practice, while Wentz is scheduled to see foot specialist Robert Anderson in the near future, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

    Analysis: Wentz is having additional tests after the initial evaluation was unable to provide a diagnosis. He suffered the injury at the end of Thursday's practice and was replaced by Jacob Eason for Friday's session. Wentz seems likely to miss a chunk of training camp, at the very least.

  • Makes strong impression in workouts

    Wentz has been making a strong impression with his arm strength and mobility during voluntary offseason workouts this week, but the Colts still plan to implement an offensive scheme in 2021 featuring easy, quick throws that key off the running game, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: Wentz missed the first two days of the voluntary workouts due to a non-COVID-related illness last week, but he returned to full strength this week. Despite his struggles last season (16:15 TD:INT, 49.6 QBR), Wentz provides a big upgrade in mobility and arm strength over Philip Rivers, last year's starter. However, it's notable that initial talk from head coach Frank Reich has been about continuing an offense that spreads the ball around rather than expanding the team's downfield passing attack.

    Wentz missed Monday's practice with an illness unrelated to COVID-19, per coach Frank Reich, George Bremer of The Herald Bulletin reports.

    Analysis: Reich described Wentz as "under the weather" and doesn't expect this illness to linger, as he hopes Wentz will be ready to practice again in 24 hours. Unless Wentz's absence stretches well beyond expectations, this illness should have little impact on his ability to build a rapport with the Colts' receivers in camp.

  • Dealt to Indianapolis

    The Eagles have agreed to trade Wentz to the Colts on Thursday in exchange for a 2021 third-round pick and a conditional 2022 second-round selection, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The conditional pick becomes a first-rounder if Wentz plays three-quarters of the Colts' offensive snaps in 2021. Multiple reports suggested Indianapolis was the 28-year-old QB's preferred destination, offering the opportunity to reunite with head coach Frank Reich, formerly the offensive coordinator in Philadelphia. The Colts also have a solid defense and a top-five offensive line, though their receiving corps could use some help, especially if T.Y. Hilton (free agent) isn't re-signed.…read more

New head coach Nick Sirianni didn't say much about the team's QB situation during his intro press conference, though he did seem to acknowledge the uncertainty surrounding Wentz's future.

    Wentz (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday versus Washington.

    Analysis: As expected, Wentz is a healthy scratch for the Eagles' regular-season finale. Jalen Hurts will continue to direct Philadelphia's offense, with Nate Sudfeld backing him up. Wentz will enter the offseason with a cloud hanging over his head after falling apart enough to force the hand of coach Doug Pederson. Overall, Wentz had career lows in completion percentage (57), passing yards (2,620) and touchdown passes (16) while notching career highs in interceptions (15) and rushing TDs (five).

Wentz has served as Hurts' backup in each of the last three games, but now the team will keep the veteran in street clothes in the season finale while fellow reserve QB Nate Sudfeld takes his spot on the active roster.

    Though Wentz will back up rookie QB Jalen Hurts in Sunday's game against the Saints, the Eagles "still have every intention to keep Wentz and have him be a major part of their team," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

    Analysis: In the wake of Wentz's struggles this season, the 3-8-1 Eagles -- who've dropped four straight games -- elected to turn to Hurts (the No. 53 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft) in Week 14. That said, Schefter suggests the team still believes that down the road Wentz can return to his prior level of play.

  • Moving into backup role

    Wentz will move into a backup role for Sunday's game against the Saints after head coach Doug Pederson named Jalen Hurts the team's starting quarterback for Week 14, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Wentz will cede his spot atop the depth chart to the rookie after he again struggled to move the offense in last week's loss to the Packers, which dropped the Eagles to 3-8-1 on the season. The demotion suddenly leaves Wentz's future with the organization in question, an improbable development after the signal-caller inked a four-year, $128 million extension in 2019 that won't even kick in until next season.

    Speaking on the radio Monday morning, coach Doug Pederson said he hasn't made up his mind on starting Wentz or Jalen Hurts for Week 14 against the Saints, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Pederson brought in Hurts during the third quarter of Sunday's 30-16 loss to Green Bay, leaving Wentz on the sideline for the final four drives of the game. The Eagles made a contest of it in the fourth quarter, but that was largely based on Jalen Reagor's punt-return touchdown, while the offense put up points on just one of four drives with Hurts at quarterback.

  • Benched at Lambeau

    Wentz completed six of 15 passes for 79 yards and carried the ball three times for 15 yards before being replaced by Jalen Hurts in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: With the Eagles' offense producing only a field goal in the first half, Wentz found himself on the bench after another three-and-out to begin the third quarter. While Hurts completed less than 50 percent of his own attempts, he did inject some life into Philly's passing game and hit Greg Ward for the team's only offensive TD of the day. It's not clear yet who Doug Pederson will name as his starting QB for Week 14, but whoever is under center will face a very tough test against the Saints.

    Analysis: Wentz was once again inefficient in the passing game -- no wideout had more than two catches -- and he was sacked another six times. The quarterback also threw his 15th interception of the season, a red-zone pick in the fourth quarter. On the bright side, he did find tight end Dallas Goedert for a three-yard score earlier, and lucked into a touchdown on a 33-yard heave in the game's waning moments.

It's also been nearly two months since he completed more than 60 percent of his passes in a game, with his accuracy remaining poor even as the Eagles have gotten a little bit healthier on offense.

    Analysis: Wentz averaged an underwhelming 6.7 yards per attempt while taking five sacks and throwing multiple interceptions for the sixth time this season. He threw touchdown passes to Richard Rodgers and Dallas Goedert to round out his fantasy line, but his team never really had a chance to win as the latter score came with just 30 seconds left on the clock.

    Analysis: This was one of Wentz's worst performances from a statistical aspect -- he established a season low in yards and a season high in turnovers in one fell swoop. In fact, the offense's poor play kept an inept Dallas squad in the game far longer than they deserved to be.

    Analysis: Down 21-10 after a Sterling Shepard TD reception with 6:17 remaining, the Eagles found themselves in a similar position to that of a narrow Week 6 loss to the Ravens that saw them nearly pull off a comeback from a two-possession deficit. Wentz quickly went to work, driving his team 78 yards in just four plays, a march highlighted by a 59-yard completion to rookie John Hightower.

    Analysis: Rarely does a quarterback look as ragged as Wentz did and yet come as close as overcoming the 17- and 18-point deficits he almost helped the Eagles erase Sunday. However, that's exactly what unfolded, with Wentz and his teammates admirably refusing to quit and putting a legitimate scare into the Ravens until a would-be game-tying two-point conversion attempt went awry for Philadelphia.

    Analysis: It wasn't pretty -- Wentz was consistently under duress behind a shoddy offensive line -- but he was able to will his team to its first victory of the season. The 27-year-old has an ugly 4:7 TD:INT ratio through four games, but he has salvaged some fantasy value with 111 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.

    Analysis: The terminology is debatable, considering the Eagles now have a three-game sample of Wentz putting up poor numbers while the team struggles to score points. Of course, injuries to the offensive line and core group of skill-position players have been a big factor, with seven projected starters on offense missing time at some point this year.

    Analysis: Wentz remains uninspiring as a passer through the first three outings of his fifth NFL campaign, with a sub-60 percent completion rate and a woeful 3:6 TD:INT. His fantasy day was salvaged by way of rushing production, however, as Wentz established a new career high in yardage on the ground.

    Analysis: He added seven yards on two carries. The Eagles are now 0-2 after back-to-back losses to the Washington Football Team and Rams, and Wentz has not been productive. After being sacked eight times in Week 1, his offensive line gave up no sacks to Aaron Donald and Co., yet Wentz was unable to get anything going in this one. Philly will look to get back on track next week as the schedule lightens up in an easier matchup with Cincinnati that could be a get-right spot for the Philadelphia offense.

He struggled from that point on, however, as the ferocious Washington pass rush resulted in eight sacks and three turnovers to turn the game on its head in the second half.

  • Considered day-to-day

    Wentz is considered day-to-day with a soft-tissue injury in his lower body, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: The Eagles have been cautious with minor injuries all summer, regularly holding players out of practice. However, they haven't been able to avoid the more serious issues, with starting LT Andre Dillard (biceps) and starting RG Brandon Brooks (Achilles) both set to miss the entire season. In any case, Wentz has a worrisome medical history of his own, but initial reports suggest the current issue shouldn't threaten his availability for Week 1 at Washington. Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports that…read more

  • Should be aggressive throwing deep

    Coach Doug Pederson wants Wentz to throw deep more often in 2020, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: This is in the words of Eagles GM Howie Roseman, who recently used a first-round pick on Jalen Reagor (4.47 40), a fifth-rounder on John Hightower (4.43), a sixth-rounder on Quez Watkins (4.35) and even added Marquise Goodwin (4.27) in a pick swap. Roseman hopes the offense can add a consistent downfield element for the first time since Wentz's 2017 breakout season, with the aforementioned receivers competing for snaps that went to possession targets like Alshon Jeffery (foot) and Nelson…read more

  • Option picked up for 2020

    The Eagles officially exercised Wentz's (concussion) team option for 2020 on Friday, Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports reports.

    Analysis: The move was merely procedural, as Wentz's 2020 salary would have risen to $31.38 million while voiding the remaining years on his extension had Philadelphia declined to exercise the option. Wentz was forced out early in the Eagles' wild-card round loss to the Seahawks on Jan. 5 with a concussion, but he cleared all five phases of the NFL's concussion protocol three days later and would have been available had Philadelphia advanced to the divisional round, per Derrick Gunn of NBC Sports…read more

  • Won't return to wild-card game

    Wentz has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's wild-card game versus the Seahawks due to a head injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. He finished the contest having completed one of four passes for three yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and having recovered his own fumble.

    Analysis: Wentz went to the locker room in the first half after being driven into the turf by Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, and his day is done. Josh McCown will fulfill quarterback duties for the remainder of the contest. If the Eagles win, Wentz will aim to get healthy for next Sunday's divisional-round matchup versus the Packers.

  • Getting examined for head injury

    Wentz is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's wild-card game versus the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Wentz was driven into the turf by Seahawks pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney in the first quarter, with his upper back and head taking the brunt of the punishment. Because Wentz was wobbly as he got to his feet, a neurologist alerted the Eagles to a potential head injury. If he enters the NFL's concussion protocol, Wentz will yield QB duties to veteran Josh McCown for the rest of this contest.

  • Leaves wild-card game early

    Wentz went to the locker room late in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: After an examination in the blue sideline tent, Wentz was joined by members of the Eagles' training staff on his way off the field. Prior to his departure, he was driven hard into the turf by Seahawks pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney, but the nature of Wentz's injury is not yet known. As long as Wentz is sidelined, Josh McCown will be under center for Philadelphia.

  • Steady in Sunday's win

    Wentz completed 23 of 40 passes for 289 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Boston Scott ended up being the hero of the Eagles' division-clinching win, but Wentz was steady in guiding the club into the playoffs. The fourth-year QB finishes the regular season with a career-high 4,039 passing yards -- an amazing total, considering all the injuries Philadelphia has had to deal with at wide receiver and tight end -- and a 27:7 TD:INT, but even on home turf he'll face a tough test in the wild-card round next weekend against the Seahawks.

  • Tops 300 yards in crucial win

    Wentz completed 31 of 40 passes for 319 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: He also added 22 rushing yards on six carries. The fourth-year QB topped 300 passing yards for the third time in the last four games, a feat he managed only twice in the first 11 contests this season, and Wentz's improved play has the Eagles on the brink of an NFC East title. They'll look to clinch a playoff berth in Week 17 on the road against the Giants, a team Wentz lit up for 325 yards and two TDs in their last meeting.

  • More late-game heroics

    Wentz completed 30 of 43 passes for 266 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Redskins. He added three carries for nine yards and fumbled three times, losing one.

    Analysis: Wentz's first touchdown came on a beautiful throw to running back Miles Sanders in the back corner of the end zone from 15 yards out, and his second was a two-yarder to a wide open Zach Ertz. The latter gave Philadelphia a 24-21 lead with 10 minutes to play, but Washington answered with a field goal before forcing a critical Wentz fumble on the ensuing possession. After the Redskins turned that fumble into another three points to take the lead, Wentz took over with under five minutes left and…read more

  • Leads comeback win

    Wentz completed 33 of 50 attempts for 325 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 23-17 overtime win over the Giants. He also rushed five times for nine yards and lost one of his two fumbles.

    Analysis: He endured a rough first half, missing some throws while having others dropped by his depleted receiving corps. To his credit, Wentz rallied when it mattered most, engineering a comeback victory with a couple two-yard touchdown tosses to Zach Ertz. Thanks to his late-game execution, Wentz was able to top 300 yards for the second straight week and now approaches Week 15's matchup against Washington with consecutive multi-touchdown games as well.

  • Throws three TDs in Week 13 loss

    Wentz completed 28 of 46 pass attempts for 310 yards, while throwing three touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 37-31 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: The 26-year-old signal-caller finally got things going from a statistical perspective Week 13, accounting for multiple TD throws and eclipsing the 260-yard passing mark for the first time in his past six outings. While Wentz is one of the NFL's most athletic quarterbacks behind the line of scrimmage, his rushing upside has been limited for fantasy purposes, as he only has one rushing score all season and averages fewer than 16 yards per game on the ground. Despite it having been a somewhat…read more

  • Puts in full practice Wednesday

    Wentz (right hand) practiced in full Wednesday.

    Analysis: Wentz went to the locker during Sunday's loss to the Seahawks for what was later revealed to be an injury to his throwing hand, which was covered in a heavy wrap after the game. On Monday, coach Doug Pederson said Wentz had a bruise but wasn't expected to miss any time in practice this week, according to Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News. With a full session under his belt Wednesday, Wentz is well on his way to upholding Pederson's prediction as the Eagles prepare for a Week 13 visit…read more

  • Dealing with minor bruise

    Coach Doug Pederson said that Wentz is tending to a bruise on his throwing hand, but the quarterback isn't expected to miss any practice time as a result and should be ready to play this weekend against the Dolphins, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.

    Analysis: In the aftermath of Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Seahawks, Wentz was spotted with a wrap around his right hand, signaling some level of worry about his health. Pederson's comments should alleviate those concerns, but Wentz will retain an injury designation for the time being until he presumably practices Wednesday as a full participant. The minor hand issue coupled with a depleted pass-catching corps missing top wideouts Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee) proved to be major obstacles…read more

  • Has heavy wrap on right hand

    Wentz left the locker room with his right throwing hand in a heavy wrap following Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Seahawks, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.

    Analysis: Wentz visited the sideline tent and then the locker room in the second half but returned to action and completed the contest. His line was less than efficient -- 33-for-45 passing for 256 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions -- and he also lost two of his three fumbles on the day. Afterward, coach Doug Pederson told Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger that Wentz had an X-ray on his hand, which came back negative. Expect Wentz to undergo further examination in the coming days, and there…read more

  • Another poor performance

    Wentz completed 33 of 45 passes for 256 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the team's Week 12 loss to the Seahawks. He also added five rushes for 27 yards.

    Analysis: Wentz went into the game short-handed, lacking multiple key receiving options in Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee). He struggled to work down the field in their absence, as he managed just 5.7 yards per attempt -- his second consecutive game under six yards -- despite completing 73 percent of his throws. Wentz himself was also battling injury, as he received an X-ray on his hand after the game, as reported by Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia. Though the…read more

  • Stymied by Patriots

    Wentz completed 20 of 40 passes for 214 yards and a touchdown while adding 17 rushing yards on three carries in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: The Eagles weren't having much success moving the ball early, but the offense really stagnated after right tackle Lane Johnson was knocked out of the game with a head injury, and Wentz ended up taking five sacks on the afternoon while posting a season low in completion percentage. The 26-year-old QB hasn't topped 240 passing yards or thrown multiple TDs in any of the last four games, and if Johnson's injury keeps him sidelined in Week 12, Wentz could be in for further struggles against the…read more

  • Held to 6.1 yards per attempt

    Wentz completed 26 of 39 pass attempts for 239 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 22-14 win over the Bears. He also carried four times for 15 yards.

    Analysis: While Wentz completed 67 percent of his passes, he was held mostly to short connections and finished averaging a lackluster 6.1 yards per attempt. He connected with Zach Ertz for a 25-yard touchdown in the second quarter, flashing a glimpse of the connection that made both players effective fantasy options in seasons past. Wentz also avoided throwing an interception for the second straight game, but after the bye week he'll face a tough matchup against the Patriots.
