The Facts: Wentz spoke to reporters today for the first time since injuring his knee. The QB said he tore the ACL and LCL and while timetable is fluid, he's hopeful about the 2018 regular-season opener. "I truly believe," Wentz said. "My goal is to be ready for Week 1. I'm going to push and do everything I can to be ready. I'm very confident in that."
Diehards Line:
As PFT's Charean Williams reminded readers, Wentz was having an MVP-type season when he was injured in Week 14 against the Rams. He isn’t sure exactly when the injury occurred, whether it was on his touchdown run that was negated by a penalty or earlier. He said he just knew something was wrong. Still, he's optimistic about his future. “I 100 percent believe I’ll be back better than ever, stronger than ever, and with no looking back,” Wentz said before adding he won’t let the injury change his playing style, vowing to continue playing the way he plays.
