From the article

Carson Wentz, QB2. Wentz won me over last year with his toughness, so I was thrilled to see him return in 2026. He missed a couple of easy throws but was strong overall and exactly what you want from your backup. He went 12 of 19 for 133 yards and three TDs, which was good for a 123.5 quarterback rating (58.8 QBR).
