Eagles QB Carson Wentz still not cleared for opener against Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons might not see a potential MVP candidate when they open the year.

Philadelphia Eagles QB Carson Wentz says it’ll be reportedly be “close” for him to get the week one home start against Atlanta. He’s recently started taking on 11-on-11 activities in practice but will not play for any preseason action.

The Thursday opener would be his first full-contact performance against another team since tearing his ACL and LCL last December. Recent Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles would start in his place.
