Wentz has obviously set his sights to 2018 already, and has sought to make the best of a bad situation. It will be of little consolation to an Eagles team that harbored Super Bowl ambitions before Wentz’s injury, but a full recovery is expected and it appears he’ll be able to play most of 2018. They can at least take some solace in that.
