The Facts: Carson Wentz is back on the practice field with the Colts. Head coach Frank Reich noted Sunday that the QB and guard Quenton Nelson were expected to take part in Monday's practices session. It's unclear how much each will take part.
Diehards Line:Three weeks after having foot surgery, getting Wentz back at practice is a good sign for his progress. Upon undergoing surgery, the Colts announced a wide rehab window for the starting quarterback, ranging from five to 12 weeks. The team estimated this week (the third post surgery) would provide a better indicator about whether Wentz's return would be closer to five weeks than three months. So the next few days are big for the QB's availability for Week 1. As NFL.com suggests, the key isn't how much work Wentz does Monday, but rather how his foot responds afterward that will indicate how long his rehab will be. We'll continue to watch for more.
