Quarterback Carson Wentz suffered a hairline fracture in his ribs during last Thursday’s game vs. Tampa Bay.

“Carson felt some discomfort and soreness as we began this morning’s practice," head coach Doug Pederson said in a statement. "We decided to limit him throughout the remainder of practice and, as a precaution, sent him for a CT scan after practice. The scan revealed a hairline fracture in his ribs. We do not know an exact timetable for his return, but we hope to have him back before the end of the preseason.”
