""Maybe earlier in my career maybe I had a different feeling," he said, "but at the same time, you look over there and I'm not even sure there's anybody on the defensive side that I've played with. It just looks different, so it's another opponent. A lot of respect for those guys. There's still a lot of good people that I still have a lot of care for and respect for, but at the same time, that feels like multiple lifetimes ago at this point.""
"The decision marked another game without original starter J.J. McCarthy, who returned to practice this week as he continues recovering from the high right ankle sprain he suffered Sept. 14. But McCarthy said Wednesday that the ankle was not yet 100%, noting that multiple second opinions indicated a recovery timetable of up to six weeks. McCarthy was limited in each practice this week, and O'Connell has said he does not want to play him in a game until the ankle is no longer an issue."
Carson Wentz will start his fourth consecutive game Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. J.J. McCarthy returned to practice this week but remained limited while recovering from a high right ankle sprain suffered Sept. 14, and he is not yet 100 percent with second opinions projecting up to six weeks of recovery. McCarthy will serve as the emergency third quarterback; rookie Max Brosmer will back up Wentz. Coach Kevin O'Connell prefers to avoid playing McCarthy until the ankle is no longer an issue. Wentz, drafted by Philadelphia in 2016, said he no longer feels sentimental facing the Eagles.
