King: Eagles QB Carson Wentz returns for Week 3

NBC Sports' Peter King has a theory—Carson Wentz will not only miss Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, but also Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

King went on the "Dan Patrick Show" and predicted that Wentz would sit out until the Eagles' Week 3 home game against the Indianapolis Colts. Earlier on Monday, King wrote in his weekly column that he believed Wentz was "doubtful" for Week 1, too.

As we stated Sunday, the Eagles' schedule gets tougher after Week 4, so the team may believe it can get away with playing Foles until they feel much better about Wentz.
