Eagles' Carson Wentz says he still intends to play in Week 1

Carson Wentz said that he still expects to be ready to play when the Eagles open next season on Sept. 6. The Eagles quarterback, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in December, said in late January that his goal was to be ready for the opener. Almost three months later, nothing has changed.

“Yeah, that’s still the goal,” Wentz said Tuesday at the NovaCare Complex.

Wentz, who tore the anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments in his left knee on Dec 10, is still months away from being 100 percent healthy, though. He declined to go into detail about the progress he’s made, but Wentz said he has started running.
