I have to imagine Carson Wentz is going to get the start next Sunday against the Bears in Chicago. How does it play out from there? Who knows at this point? JJ McCarthy is now the backup quarterback. And if Carson Wentz plays well — I'm guessing because Kyler is signed to a one-year contract — that Carson Wentz … holds onto the job.

Wentz gets Week 2 start; strong play could extend his starting role.

Wentz is expected to start Week 2 against the Bears in Chicago with Murray sidelined by concussion protocol. Judd Zulgad of SKOR North suggests Wentz could retain the starting job if he performs well in Chicago and/or Week 3 vs. Tampa Bay, particularly given Murray's one-year contract status. This creates a scenario where strong performance by Wentz could extend his starting opportunity beyond Murray's return.
