WESTFIELD, Ind. -- Indianapolis Colts rookie Sam Ehlinger has closed the gap against Jacob Eason to be the team's starting quarterback if Carson Wentz is not ready for the start of the regular season.
Ehlinger, who was selected in the sixth round of this year's draft, split first-team practice snaps with Eason in practice Tuesday, and will continue to do so in Thursday and Friday's joint practices against the Carolina Panthers.
"Against the Panthers in the game (on Sunday), I won't try to split like that," Reich said.
