Carson Wentz says he feels "really good" with his progress in training camp.
That doesn't mean he'll play in Week 1, however.

The Eagles quarterback, coming off an ACL injury that ended his 2017 season after 13 games, got the green light last week to participate in 11-on-11 drills, although he hasn't been cleared for contact yet.
When he'll receive that clearance is up to team doctors. And with only 17 days remaining until the Eagles' season opener against the Falcons on Sept. 6, time is running out.
“The final hurdle, which will not be my decision, will be being cleared for contact,” Wentz told reporters Monday.
“I feel good. I mean, I think you guys kind of see me out there. I have no hesitation in the pocket when guys are around me, those things. I feel really good. But it’s going to come down if they feel confident in contact, and when that is I can’t say yet.”
The Eagles should have Nick Foles available to start the opener if Wentz isn't ready. Whether he gets cleared in time or not, Wentz is pleased with his progress.
“Everything has been going well, all throughout rehab, just been constant progression. I feel really good where I’m at,” Wentz said.
“It’s going to be close (getting cleared for Week 1)."
