Eagles QB Carson Wentz reported to camp leaner after changing his diet during the offseason

Carson Wentz reported to Philadelphia Eagles training camp on Wednesday looking leaner and lighter after an offseason of work instead of rehab. Wentz was injury-free this offseason, allowing the Eagles star to focus on his health, diet and slinging the ball around.

While addressing the media after the Eagles first practice, Wentz hinted at a slight change in his diet, allowing him to return to training camp a little leaner as he described it.

I told Carson Wentz he looks leaner. He said he has “leaned out” a little bit, dropped a couple pounds. Feels healthier as a whole. Also says he feels ready to take a hit, though obviously doesn’t have to yet. Will he play preseason? “I’m ready to go,” he says. Coach’s call.

Doug Pederson hinted at the Eagles keeping Wentz on a slight pitch count, allowing the coaching staff to monitor the franchise star, while allowing him to get in a significant amount of work.
