Colts' Carson Wentz, Quenton Nelson could be on different ends of 5-12 week recovery timeline

WESTFIELD, Ind. -- The broad timeframe for the recovery of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz and guard Quenton Nelson from foot surgery is nothing to be alarmed about, ESPN injury expert Stephania Bell said.

Wentz and Nelson had the same surgery on back-to-back days -- Aug. 2 and 3 -- to have a foot bone removed. The Colts said both players could be out between five and 12 weeks.

“The range for recovery is very real,” Bell said. “The injury has happened so rarely, that it could take a range of samples, that I think the average is around the 10-week range.
