Eagles

Eagles QB Carson Wentz explained that he feels great physically while adding “he knee thing is behind me.”

“Personally, I feel good where I’m at as far as processing and in-game speed, and even being comfortable with the guys out there. So, I feel good where I’m at as far as seeing all that stuff,” Wentz said, Paul Domowitch of Philly.com.

“And physically, I feel great. I feel I’m picking up [where I left off] on the field last year. To me, the knee thing is behind me, and now we’re going forward.”

As for the team’s 2-2 start, Wentz stressed that they’ll be fine.

“The sky isn’t falling,” Wentz said. “We’re 2-2 right now. Would love to be 4-0, but this is just where we’re at.

“We’re a month in. Still trying to figure out 100 percent who we are. But at the same time, we know the guys we have. And we know what we’re capable of doing.”
