Carson Wentz was back on the field throwing passes less than six months after knee surgery ended his season.

The Pro Bowl quarterback wore a brace on his surgically repaired left knee and tossed passes to assistant coaches and ballboys as the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles kicked off organized team activities on Tuesday. Wentz isn’t medically cleared to participate with the rest of the team.

”I’m just learning how to trust it Kevin Hogan Jersey , trust your knee, trust your movement http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline.com/ryan-anderson-jersey , all of those things,” he said. ”That comes over time.”

Nick Foles stepped in after Wentz went down http://www.washingtonredskinsteamonline.com/matthew-ioannidis-jersey , leading the Eagles to their first NFL title since 1960. Foles was the Super Bowl MVP in a 41-33 victory over the Patriots and would be the starter if Wentz isn’t ready for the season opener on Sept. 6 against the Falcons.

”Anytime you’re rehabbing, you have to be careful Trent Murphy Jersey ,” Wentz said. ”Trust what the trainers and doctors are saying and be smart with it.”

Linebacker Paul Worrilow injured his knee during practice and had to be carted off the field. There was no immediate word on the extent of his injury.

The Eagles cut veteran wide receiver Markus Wheaton on their way to 53 players, but they reversed course on Tuesday.

Wheaton is back with the team after they placed tight end Richard Rodgers on injured reserve. Rodgers has a knee injury and could return after eight weeks on the list should the Eagles decide to use one of their two return slots.

Wheaton’s return comes on the same day that head coach Doug Pederson ruled two other wideouts out of Thursday’s game. Alshon Jeffery continues to make his way back from shoulder surgery and Mack Hollins has been sidelined by a groin injury after having hernia surgery this offseason. The Eagles kept four other receivers on the roster when they made their cuts on Saturday.

A hamstring injury helped hamstring Wheaton’s chances of making the Eagles this summer. He was limited by injury last season and only played 11 games for the Bears Derrius Guice Jersey , who released him in March.
