We have elevated K Michael Badgley to the 53-man roster from the practice squad and activated QB Sam Ehlinger from IR.

We have placed WR Parris Campbell on IR and waived QB Jacob Eason and DT Chris Williams.

Pascal should see an increased role with Campbell out for a while, and potentially for the season. He'll slide in behind Michael Pittman and T.Y. Hilton. Hilton's status for this week is a bit in doubt but isn't considered long-term. The team also made a QB move and eventually Ehlinger could end up being the team's QB2 behind Carson Wentz. It's worth noting because Wentz hasn't exactly been a pillar of health over the last couple of years. For now, it looks like Hundley is still the team's backup, at least until Ehlinger gets up to speed. Ehlinger was the team's sixth round pick and is a rookie.

Colts QB Carson Wentz is trending to start Week 1. Chris Mortensen of ESPN tweeted Wednesday morning that Jacob Eason and Sam Ehlinger are practicing/competing for the back-up quarterback job, which puts Wentz's recovery timeline closer to five weeks than 12 as originally expected after foot surgery.

The same goes for OG Quenton Nelson who underwent the same surgery days later. While a return for the start of the NFL season is the best case scenario for Wentz, concerns about his mobility and game readiness will deservedly be questioned. A healthy Wentz is also great news for the offensive weapons on the Colts.
