Tim Hasselbeck shares his expectations about Carson Wentz's first season as a Colt. (1:24).Sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that Quenton Nelson, the guard for the Indianapolis Colts, and Carson Wentz, the quarterback of Indianapolis Colts are expected to be back from foot surgery in time for next month’s regular-season opener against Seattle Seahawks.Last week, the Colts announced that Nelson and Wentz would be out of action for five to twelve weeks following operations to fix the same foot injury.Wentz, who underwent surgery Aug. 2, will begin his rehabilitation next week. However, Wentz was able to attend the Colts' training camp practice Tuesday with no walking boot or limping.Two weeks after surgery, the Colts will be able to get a better idea of each player's rehabilitation status.Sixth-round rookie Sam Ehlinger, who was out of Wentz's draft, has taken the first-team snaps with Jacob Eason. He will continue doing so in Thursday and Friday joint practices with Carolina Panthers.Eason was considered the leader to start in the event that Wentz is not able to recover in time to face Seahawks. However, Frank Reich repeatedly referred to Eason "right now" after Saturday's practice.The Colts will be compensated for Wentz's 2021 play in the trade. The Colts offered the Philadelphia Eagles a conditional 2022 first-round pick. This could be converted to a first-rounder if Wentz plays at least 75% or 70% of Indianapolis' offensive snaps.Nelson, who had surgery Aug. 3, was an All-Pro in all three NFL seasons. He also started all 48 regular-season and three playoff games.This report used information from ESPN's Mike Wells.
