"I thought [Carson] had a good week of practice, as well as J.J.," O'Connell told reporters on Friday. "I was really proud of the work [J.J.] put in, as he kind of continues to push through the later stages of this rehab. Feel good about him being available but he will be the emergency third quarterback. We went into the last game with two (QBs) and didn't quite feel like that was the smartest thing to do - and feel good about where he'd be at if he had to play in that third quarterback capacity. So Max [Brosmer] will back up Carson Wentz."
