Indianapolis Colts' Carson Wentz, Quenton Nelson trending to play in NFL Week 1 after foot surgeries, sources say

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz and guard Quenton Nelson are trending toward recovering from foot surgeries in time for next month's regular-season opener against the Seattle Seahawks, sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

The Colts announced last week that Wentz and Nelson would be sidelined five to 12 weeks after operations to repair the same foot injury.

Wentz, who had surgery Aug. 2, will start his rehab next week but was at the Colts' training camp practice Tuesday without a walking boot and without limping.

The Colts hope to have a better indication of both players' rehabilitation status once they are two weeks post-surgery.
