Doug Pederson says it's too soon to know if Nick Foles or Carson Wentz will start Eagles season opener

Carson Wentz is the Eagles’ starting quarterback when healthy, but Wentz is not yet healthy. So at this moment, coach Doug Pederson is looking at Nick Foles as his top quarterback. That could include the Sept. 6 season opener against the Atlanta Falcons. When the time comes, though, it will be Wentz again.

“I still believe this is Carson’s team,” Pederson said Tuesday as the Eagles begin a three-day mandatory minicamp. “I don’t think differently about that.”

Pederson was asked what he thought about giving Foles the first snap of the season opener. Pederson, focused on the minicamp, answered that Foles is the top quarterback at this week’s camp.
