Overview
- O’Connell declined to name a starter for Sunday against the Eagles, saying both quarterbacks will get work this week.
- The Wednesday report listed J.J. McCarthy as a limited participant and he said his ankle is not 100%, while Carson Wentz was a full participant despite a painful non-throwing shoulder.
- O’Connell has maintained that McCarthy must complete a full week of live, game-like reps before he is cleared to play.
- Wentz is 2-1 as the fill-in starter with roughly 759 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions, though he has taken frequent sacks behind a banged-up line.
- The team scheduled media availability for both quarterbacks and noted undrafted rookie Max Brosmer as the contingency option if needed.
