Eagles QB Carson Wentz to get back to 11-on-11s next week

The coaching staff had backed off from Carson Wentz in full-team drills because they were happy with what they saw from him during those early 11-on-11s and wanted to minimize any extra risk that having him out there in those situations would create as he recovers from ACL and LCL surgery.

According to the plan — as secretive as the Eagles have kept it — Wentz expects to be back in 11-on-11s next week, an obvious good sign as he continues to keep his goal of being ready to play in Week 1.

Fantasy Impact: 

HC Doug Pederson said that he would ideally get to see Wentz in 11-on-11s for a week before he plays in a game.
