Earlier this week, Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl quarterback Carson Wentz had been limited in practice due to a back injury that drew some questions about his health.
However, it appears all that has been immediately erased with Wentz being able to take part in practice fully on Thursday, according to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk.
Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz had a full practice Thursday, a day after being limited with a back injury.
This should eliminate any doubt that he will be able to play in Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The way that his status could come up in question is if he unable to practice in any manner on Friday. Until then, he will be on the field to help the Eagles take command of the NFC East to march toward another playoff berth.
Wentz has continued to show improvement in his play with each passing week as he has racked up 1,192 passing yards on a 68.4 percent completion rate along with eight touchdowns to an interception. He has notched more than 300 passing yards twice while throwing for more multiple touchdowns in each of the last three games played. Wentz is coming off a strong outing against the New York Giants last Thursday where he completed 26-of-36 passes for 278 yards with three touchdowns while holding a 122.2 passer rating.
The Eagles have a tough challenge ahead against the Panthers, who have been off to a solid start behind their balanced play on both sides of the ball. Carolina is currently ranking 10th in the NFL with 22.8 points per game allowed while being fourth overall and seventh against the pass. Wentz will be the focal point of Philadelphia's game plan toward pushing the team forward over .500 mark for the first time since the Week 3 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
