Wentz cleared for 7-on-7 work at OTAs

Carson Wentz's recovery from a torn ACL took another positive step on Wednesday, as the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback has been cleared for 7-on-7 work during organized team activities this week.

"Part of the rehab process with him is just giving him a little more - I don't want to say freedom - but a little more practice time," head coach Doug Pederson said to reporters. "One of the controlled environments that we can obviously put him in is a 7-on-7 situation. Being able to sprinkle him in and watch him in more of an up-tempo kind of practice has been good."

Wentz has been confident he'll be ready to play in the 2018 season opener. Luckily for the Eagles, should Wentz still be out at that point, Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles is ready to step in again.
