The Facts: Wentz hasn't participated in team drills in five straight practices. HC Doug Pederson reiterated Friday that it's all part of the plan with the QB returning from a season-ending knee injury. Pederson added there was no setback for Wentz. "No setbacks. Not at all. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing," the coach said.

Diehards Line: The Eagles kept Wentz out of team sessions this week to avoid uncontrolled environments as he works his way back. Even in what was viewed as a lighter type of practice on Friday, Pederson said it wasn't controlled enough to put Wentz in the fire until he's cleared for contact. "That's not controlled. The situation is controlled, but the actions are not..." the coach said. "It's still part of the plan. Not going to subject him to that right now. ..." After suffering ACL and LCL injuries in early December, Wentz has focused on being ready for the team's Week 1 tilt versus the Atlanta Falcons. There is a chance we might not see the 25-year-old in preseason games. Whatever the case, we'll continue to follow up throughout August (and the rest of the season).
