Carson Wentz has rib fracture, likely out for preseason
Doug Pederson met with reporters following his team’s 17-9 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Thursday night’s preseason opener and one of the big topics was the 10-game suspension that is pending for Lane Johnson after he failed a drug test. Johnson tested positive for peptide. Hey, why not? Give the kid a test right away.

“[That drive] ended unfortunately”, Pederson said of the drive. “He stood in the pocket and took some tough shots”.
The good? Well, punter Bryan Anger pinned the Eagles at their 9 by forcing a fair catch. The Eagles recovered, and three plays later, Ryan Matthews ran it in from the five.
With Wentz now sidelined, the Eagles will likely play quarterbacks Sam Bradford, Chase Daniel and McLeod Bethel-Thompson against the Steelers this coming Thursday night.
“It was fun”, Wentz said. “But at the same time we’ve got to be smart about it and have people ready to go if it is upheld”. “Overall, it was enjoyable”.
Wentz was shaken up late in the game by blitzing safety Kimario McFadden, who lifted and slammed him on the ground. “But I landed fine”. He faced pressure playing against the Bucs’ first- and second-team defenses, and the Eagles’ backup offensive linemen did not help his case.
Carson Wentz won’t be getting back on the field for the Philadelphia Eagles for a while.
Although the Eagles said in a Saturday statement from Pederson that there’s no timetable for Wentz’s return, the team could potentially look to Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton as precedent. – Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter, who like Philadelphia’s Doug Pederson was making his National Football League head coaching debut. “I thought he was quick in his decision making and he got the ball out quick”.
All 17 Eagles points came off Bucs turnovers, as an interception by rookie Quentin Gause set up a 42-yard field goal by Caleb Sturgis in the fourth quarter.
But he was impressive throwing on the run – he does have a howitzer for an arm and can use it without setting his feet. “I thought we had some good plays off the naked”. I am still out there playing ball.
PHILADELPHIA-The calls for Carson Wentz came in the first half of the Philadelphia Eagles’ preseason opener Thursday night, August 11, from fans who endured a 100-degree heat index in to catch their first glimpse of the Eagles’ future franchise quarterback.

“He’s a very athletic quarterback”, Ertz said. “We’ll see who’s next best; maybe somebody who hasn’t played there this spring or summer. He was asking if I could hear him”. This was done by shortening the game with huddling and a commitment to a running game and by gaining just enough first downs so the defense could regroup and adjust from series to series. Pederson says, “We do not know an exact timetable for his return, but we hope to have him back before the end of the preseason”.
