Quarterback Carson Wentz fully participated in Monday's practice and will start Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns, head coach Doug Pederson announced.
The Eagles opted to start the second overall pick from this year's NFL draft after veteran quarterback Sam Bradford was traded to the Minnesota Vikings. Wentz was also selected over Chase Daniel.
Daniel was reportedly “not happy” when when he was informed of the decision, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL.com. Pederson told reporters that there is a plan to bring in a third quarterback.
Wentz is coming off a career at North Dakota State, where he threw for 5,115 yards and 45 touchdowns in his four years.
