Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is working hard to return from ACL surgery as he is seen warming up and actually looking pretty good doing it.
But according to Ian Rapoport, Wentz may not be ready to return from injury until October.

The Eagles have not publicly given an indication as to when Wentz would return to the starting lineup, and didn’t even officially announce that he’d be out for Thursday season’s opener against the Atlanta Falcons until Monday.
Nick Foles has started in Wentz’s place, and will continue to do so as long as Wentz remains out.
Rapoport said Wentz wouldn’t return for “several weeks” because the Eagles are being “overly cautious” with their franchise quarterback.
