Carson Wentz said earlier this week that he will be ready for the regular season whether he plays in the preseason or not. It’s a good thing since the Eagles quarterback will get no preseason snaps.

Wentz sat out Thursday night’s preseason game after sitting out the first two preseason games. He won’t play the fourth preseason game.

Coach Doug Pederson didn’t feel playing Wentz was worth the risk, especially considering the Eagles lost two quarterbacks in the first two preseason games. Nate Sudfeld broke his wrist and Cody Kessler was diagnosed with a concussion.

Wentz is healthy.

He’s also ready, according to Pederson.

“He’s really done an outstanding job,” Pederson said, via Zach Berman of TheAthletic.com. “And even physically from his rehab back in the spring all the way through training camp, he’s clicking on all cylinders. His mind is good; his body feels fresh; and all the things that we’ve seen through camp, for me, that was the deciding factor.”

Wentz was injured in the first preseason game as a rookie and missed the rest of the exhibition games. He played three preseason games in 2017. He was not cleared from his knee injury during the 2018 preseason.
