Eagles QB Wentz (ribs) hopes for quick return

PHILADELPHIA -- Carson Wentz said Sunday night that he still hopes to play in the Philadelphia Eagles' final preseason game on Sept. 1, despite a rib injury sustained in Thursday's preseason opener.

"I really hope so," Wentz said after the Eagles' open practice at Lincoln Financial Field. "Heck, I'd love to play tomorrow. That's how I am. We'll have to see what the doctors say."

Wentz said he could begin practicing as soon as he can tolerate the pain. Team doctors will determine when it is safe for Wentz to participate in live action.
