Overview
- Head coach Kevin O’Connell said McCarthy has entered a more active rehab phase for a high-ankle sprain and the team will not rush his return.
- McCarthy did not participate in practice on Wednesday or Thursday in the U.K., making a Week 5 appearance unlikely.
- Wentz has posted 523 passing yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in two starts and is set for a third straight start against the Browns.
- Right tackle Brian O’Neill is week-to-week with an MCL sprain without surgery or injured reserve, further stressing a banged-up offensive line.
- With a Week 6 bye, Week 7 against the Eagles is viewed as a realistic return window for McCarthy, while Wentz’s form has drawn pre-deadline trade speculation.
