No limitations expected Week 1 Wentz isn't expected to face any restrictions in his Colts debut Sunday against the Seahawks, despite undergoing foot surgery Aug. 2, Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network...

Impact While the Colts are expected to proceed with caution with Wentz to whatever extent they can, head coach Frank Reich said Friday that the signal-caller won't be "limited in any way" less than six weeks after undergoing a procedure that was expected to sideline the quarterback for 5-to-12 weeks. Although Reich has been pleased with Wentz's mobility in the pocket in recent practices, the Colts aren't expected to include any designed runs for the 28-year-old in their Week 1 game plan, even though he's proven to be a solid contributor as a rusher in past seasons. Instead, Reich ideally wants to lean on the Jonathan Taylor-led ground game and have Wentz to play from the pocket for most of the day, though Wentz could face more pressure than usual on passing downs with top left tackle Eric Fisher (Achilles) already ruled out for the season opener. Wentz will also be without one of his key pass catchers for at least three first three games after veteran wideout T.Y. Hilton (neck) was placed on injured reserve Sept. 2.

Tabbed for Week 1 start Coach Frank Reich said Wentz will be the Colts' starting quarterback Sunday against Seattle, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

Impact As expected, with Wentz recovering from early August foot surgery at the very front end of his initial rehab timeline (5-to-12 weeks). Superstar left guard Quenton Nelson (questionable - foot) also is on track to play after having a similar surgery the same week as Wentz, while starting left tackle Eric Fisher (Achilles) has been ruled out. Wentz will have Michael Pittman, Zach Pascal and Parris Campbell as his top receivers, with Nyheim Hines and Jonathan Taylor out of the backfield and Jack Doyle, Mo Alie-Cox and Kylen Granson at tight end. There's no clear No. 1 target, but Wentz at least should have plenty of options for shallower routes.
