PHILADELPHIA-- Quarterback Carson Wentz continued to whet the Eagles fan base's appetite on Tuesday as he participated in OTA drills for the second time in front of the media.

Tuesday was the Eagles' fourth OTA practice, though just the second one open to the media. Again, Wentz could be seen alongside his quarterback teammates -- including Nick Foles, Nate Sudfeld and Joe Callahan -- conducting various quarterback drills, though he sat out the scrimmage portions of practice. Watch the video above to see the highlights.

Wentz is still recovering from season-ending knee surgery after he suffered a torn ACL in a game against the Rams in Los Angeles in December. Typically, that is an injury that requires 9-12 months of recovery time, though Wentz is confident that he's on track to return for the Eagles' Week 1 match-up with the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 6.

If that's the case, then Wentz would've taken less than nine months to recover.

"Every day gets a little bit better," Wentz said last week. "I feel like I've made really good strides both mentally or physically."

Even if Wentz is not ready for Week 1, the Eagles remain prepared to weather his absence with the return of Foles, who took over for Wentz when he was injured last season and won Super Bowl MVP honors in guiding the Eagles to their first-ever Lombardi Trophy.
