Carson Wentz has struggled with injuries over the last two seasons, but Doug Pederson says the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback has a "great opportunity" coming this season.

"This is also a great opportunity for Carson, to really regain the type of player he is to what we saw in 2017, and really what we saw in 2018 when he was playing," Pederson said. "He is a tremendous competitor. He is a tremendous leader, and quite frankly, I don't think a lot of that bothers him. He just moves on. He is excited for this new season. It is a new team, there are new guys around him. He is energized, he feels good and I am just excited for that."

The Eagles signed Wentz to a massive contract extension this offseason.
