The Indianapolis Colts intend to start Carson Wentz, who sprained both his ankles in Week 2, against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
The quarterback is active for the divisional clash.
Wentz reportedly had no setbacks during his week of rehabilitation and is pushing to play.
The 28-year-old was injured late against the Los Angeles Rams when his body contorted awkwardly during an Aaron Donald tackle. The Colts reportedly gave Jacob Eason and Brett Hundley first-team reps in practice in the event Wentz would be unavailable versus the Titans.
Indianapolis is 0-2 entering their first divisional game of the season. Wentz has thrown for 498 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in losses to the Rams and Seattle Seahawks.
