Journeyman QB Gets Golden Opportunity

With Sam Bradford, Chase Daniel and Carson Wentz atop the depth chart, Bethel-Thompson has flown under the radar during Training Camp. However, a hairline fracture of the ribs has sidelined Wentz uncluttering a small window for Bethel-Thompson to stage his skill set.
