Carson Wentz, the North Dakota State quarterback who was the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL Draft, said he'd never suffered any kind of rib injury before. So he wasn't aware that he'd suffered a hairline fracture in Thursday's preseason opener against Tampa Bay until he woke up the next morning.

Wentz told Matt Lombardo on nj.com: "It hurts pretty good. I actually came out (Saturday), didn't realize how bad it hurt, went and got the X-rays, CT-scan and that revealed the crack. It hurts pretty much everything we do, but I'll be alright."

Wentz completed 12 passes in 24 attempts for 89 yards, in Philadelphia's 17-9 victory. He also gained 15 yards on three carries.

It's expected that the earliest Wentz would return is the Eagles' final preseason game on Sept. 1 against the Jets.

"Contact's limited here for awhile," Wentz told Zach Berman of Philly.com on Sunday night. "The goal is hopefully still in the preseason I'll be ready to go, but you never know with these things. So we'll have to see."

Even before the injury, Eagles coach Doug Pederson said the plan was to have veteran Sam Bradford open the season as the No. 1 quarterback, with Wentz being brought along slowly.

Here's a review of Wentz' first game from USA Today, with reaction from both Pederson and Eagles' fans.
