ORLANDO — Carson Wentz will be the Eagles’ starting quarterback when he returns, and though the team is encouraged about Wentz’s progress from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, coach Doug Pederson would not offer a definite timetable for Wentz’s return to the field. The hope remains that Wentz will be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but he might not play in the preseason.
“Very encouraged with where he’s at, the direction he’s headed,” Pederson said Tuesday at the NFL annual meeting. “It’s day-by-day. I’m not rushing him, by no means. He’s working extremely hard, obviously, trying to get himself ready to go.
