The Philadelphia Eagles have a backup quarterback situation to figure out now that Nate Sudfeld is going to miss some time as he recovers from surgery on his broken non-throwing wrist.
Doug Pederson was insistent on emphasizing that Sudfeld’s season isn’t over and that he’ll be back at some point. It’s not exactly clear when Sudfeld will return, however. There’s some speculation it could be a six-to-eight week injury, which means Sudfeld would miss the rest of the preseason in addition to regular season games.
Pederson said the Eagles plan to move forward with Cody Kessler and Clayton Thorson as the backup options to Carson Wentz .
