Keeping Carson Wentz safe is a work in progress for Eagles | Bob Ford

The return of Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz last Sunday was a success by the only measure that truly has lasting meaning.

"We won. That's what really matters," said left guard Steve Wisniewski. "We moved the ball well at times. We've got to try to make some more big plays down the field, but we also had some nice long drives."

The interplay between the quarterback and his offensive line is still a work in progress, however. Wentz, just nine months after tearing two major ligaments in his left knee, was sacked five times, hit behind the line of scrimmage seven times overall, and forced to scramble on three other occasions.
