Colts’ Carson Wentz will play in Week 3 vs. Titans

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz will reportedly play on Sunday versus the Tennessee Titans in a Week 3 matchup at Nissan Stadium, per multiple reports.

Wentz has been dealing with a pair of sprained ankles suffered during the Week 2 loss to the Los Angeles Rams but was able to practice in a limited fashion on Friday.

From all accounts, Wentz seemed to be moving well despite being “heavily taped,” which likely played a huge factor in the Colts deciding to give him a go. Now it’ll be interesting to see if he can make it through an entire game.

Through two games, the 28-year-old has looked pretty good, completing 65.2 percent of his passes for 498 yards and three scores to one pick. There’s no question the Colts are in a better position with him under center.

As far as who will backup Wentz should things go south for any reason, that remains unclear.

The Colts have both 2020 fourth-round pick Jacob Eason, who relieved Wentz last week, and Brett Hundley ready to go. Hundley took first-team reps during the week, making that a murky situation.

The Colts will look for their first win of the 2021 campaign when they take on the 1-1 Titans at noon CT.
