The Eagles seem confident they can avoid missteps in the weeks ahead, while handling a situation no NFL team has ever handled, or had the opportunity to handle.
They will take the training-camp field July 26 with the reigning Super Bowl MVP as their starting quarterback. Watching and working in, as he returns from knee surgery, is the quarterback who very likely would have been the league’s regular-season MVP if he hadn’t torn two ligaments in his left knee on Dec. 10 against the Rams.
We’ve heard a lot since that December day about the relationship between Nick Foles and Carson Wentz, how there was no hint of clashing agendas or hurt feelings as Foles took the helm and somehow, against all odds, became what Wentz was brought here to be: the quarterback who ended the franchise’s 57-year title drought.
