Colts' Carson Wentz Won't Be Rushed Back from Foot Injury, Jim Irsay Says

Indianapolis Colts owner and CEO Jim Irsay is pumping the brakes on the idea Carson Wentz will be available for Week 1.

"I know he's such a competitor and wants to be there for his team," Irsay told reporters Thursday. "But he has to help by only coming back when he's ready because we want to see him healthy for two months and two years and four years and do those things that you see the great players at the Hall of Fame (do). They're there because they can stay on the field and Carson does everything he can to stay on the field.
