For the second straight year, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz saw his season come to an end sooner than expected. In 2017, it was a torn ACL that knocked him out late in the year. This past season, it was a back issue.
Wentz has spent the offseason rehabilitating his back, and he discussed how it has been going entering offseason workouts:
“I'm feeling good,” said Wentz, according to Tim McManus of ESPN. “I'm kind of taking it week by week. I'm throwing some and running some and just kind of taking it week by week, and I feel good.”
The 26-year-old added that participating in organized team activities was “the goal,” but said that there is no timetable, nor is there any rush for his return.
When asked if the bone in his back was fully healed, he had this to say:
“It's still getting there,” he said. “Some of this stuff just takes time, but that's not really the main concern. It's just kind of how I feel, and I feel pretty good with where I am.”
Wentz would not get into specifics about any restrictions he may currently have.
In 11 games prior to his injury in 2018, Wentz threw for 3,074 yards, 21 touchdowns and seven interceptions while completing 69.6 percent of his passes and registering a passer rating of 102.2.
The Raleigh, N.C. native, who played his collegiate football at North Dakota State, was originally selected by the Eagles with the second overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft.
He made the Pro Bowl in his second season and appeared to be an MVP candidate before tearing his ACL in Week 14.
Nick Foles then took over under center and led Philadelphia to its first-ever Super Bowl title.
