It has been just over six weeks since Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Carson Wentz suffered a season-ending ACL tear.

Since then, Wentz has continued to make progress in his recovery that now features him being able to move around without a cane, which he was seen doing at the team practice on Friday morning, according to Tim McManus of ESPN.

This is an encouraging sign in terms of just where the 25-year-old is in his recovery just over a month removed from the significant injury. That said, Wentz was still wearing a large brace on his left leg to help him get around.

The typical timetable for him to get back to full strength runs between nine months to a year. This would put him back on the field near the start of the season at the earliest. Although it's quite early to single out a target date for his return, this could possibly see him attempt to back for preseason action to get some games under his belt before the regular season.

Wentz also revealed on Friday that he tore his LCL on that same play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14, which he believes won't impact his rehab in any great capacity.

Prior to suffering this serious knee injury, Wentz had shown significant progress in his development on the field this past season where he was the perceived frontrunner for the MVP award. At the time of the injury, he led the NFL with 33 touchdown passes while ranking among the leaders with 3,296 passing yards.

In his absence, Nick Foles has proven to be more than a capable starter, helping lead the Eagles to their first Super Bowl appearance since 2004 with a chance to get their first win on this stage. He is coming off a strong performance in the NFC Championship game, completing 26-of-33 passes for 352 yards and three touchdowns. Ultimately, the Eagles appear to be in a great position for the immediate future and the long haul under center.
