Colts face roster debate with injuries to Hilton, Ehlinger
The Indianapolis Colts will open this season without receiver TAUGUST 29, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Slated for full practice Monday Wentz (foot) is expected to participate in full team practice periods beginning Monday, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.
Impact The 28-year-old returned to practice in a limited capacity last week, and he's now set to rejoin full-team work at Monday's session. Wentz has been consistently expressing optimism the past couple weeks regarding his outlook for Week 1, and that optimism appears to have been well placed as he continues to ramp up his practice work. He'll have two weeks of practice to get fully up to speed for the Sept. 12 opener against the Seahawks.

Practicing on consecutive days Wentz (foot) is practicing again Tuesday, a sign he responded well to Monday's workload, per Zak Keefer of The Athletic.
Impact Wentz was shown running and making cuts before Monday's session, and he then took part in 7-on-7s with the first-team offense in what was his first practice since late July. Afterward, he was optimistic about his chances of being ready for Week 1, echoing an increasingly popular sentiment. Wentz is pushing for the very front end of his initial recovery timeline of 5-to-12 weeks as he comes back from Aug. 2 surgery to remove a piece of loose bone from the fifth metatarsal of his left foot.

Impact The report notes that the QB figures to take the occasional maintenance day in the coming weeks, with an eye toward not rushing him and avoiding setbacks, but Wentz's chances of being ready for the start of the regular season are beginning to brighten. With that in mind, Keefer noted following Monday's practice that Wentz "absolutely looked like a guy today who'll be ready to go in three weeks." If that's the case, Jacob Eason and Sam Ehlinger -- who had been handling first-team reps -- will transition to competing for the team's No. 2 QB job, rather than an early-season starting stint.
