Carson Wentz expected to start in Week 17

For the Indianapolis Colts, it's looking like Carson Wentz may be out on the field to take on the Las Vegas Raiders after all. Wentz was placed on the COVID list and the expectation was that Sam Ehlinger would start.

Instead, Wentz was removed from the list on Saturday. Now, all signs are pointing to him starting against the Raiders in this big-time game.

The #Colts activated QB Carson Wentz off the COVID-19 reserve list. While he’s not officially cleared, this is procedural and the expectation is that he will be tomorrow.

Fans are happy right now, as they were worried No. 2 wouldn't be leading the offense in such a giant contest. We'll see how Wentz is able to do after being away from the team for the past few days.
