As if there wasn’t enough Eagles news to discuss, it looks as though the Carson Wentz show could well and truly be underway in Philadelphia.
#Eagles also confirm what most of us thought: Carson Wentz needs to start playing sooner rather than later. Question is when?

#Eagles are planning on starting Carson Wentz against the visiting #Browns if he's recovered enough from his rib injury, sources said.

Told same as @caplannfl: It's the Carson Wentz show in Philly when he's healthy. Source says Chase Daniel not happy.

With Bradford traded, it looked as though Chase Daniel was going to be the starter, at least to begin with. Wentz threw just 24 passes in preseason prior to suffering a hairline fracture in his ribs, causing him to miss the remaining games. But today’s reports suggest that if he’s healthy..it’s Wentz that will be starting against the Browns, not long-term backup Chase Daniel.
Wentz had a progressive Training camp followed by a flurry of impressive preseason passes in high pressure situations. Although he has been regarded by many as being someway off starting, the Eagles coaching staff were beyond impressed with what they saw against the Bucs.
#Eagles are over the moon about Carson Wentz, even just based on one preseason session. If healthy, he should start in Game 1.

If Wentz is healthy, the number two overall pick could be starting much sooner than any of us anticipated.
