Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz returned to practice Monday morning, just three weeks after undergoing foot surgery. Coach Frank Reich said the 28-year-old signal caller looked good, but that the question now is how does Wentz’s surgically repaired foot respond. Indy also got left guard Quenton Nelson and center Ryan Kelly back on the practice field in a limited capacity. Like Wentz, Nelson underwent foot surgery, while Kelly has been nursing an elbow injury suffered late last month.
