Report: Wentz cleared for full team practices

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz received medical clearance for 11-on-11 drills, meaning he can participate in full team practices, team sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

Wentz hasn't yet been cleared for physical contact, but defenders aren't allowed to make contact with quarterbacks in practice anyway. Wentz is recovering from a torn ACL that ended his 2017 campaign prematurely. The former second overall pick was a prime MVP candidate last season prior to the injury.

The 25-year-old isn't expected to play at all during the preseason, though that reportedly won't stop the Eagles from playing him in Week 1 if he's ready.

Philly is facing a somewhat peculiar quarterback situation as the regular season nears, with Wentz uncertain to be ready for Week 1 while Super Bowl LII MVP Nick Foles battles various injuries.

Foles left Week 2 of the preseason with a shoulder injury, but the ailment isn't believed to be serious.
