INDIANAPOLIS — Colts quarterback Carson Wentz is back practicing with the team for the first time since spraining both ankles.

Wentz went out late in Sunday's game against the Rams after getting hit by defensive tackle Aaron Donald and twisting his right ankle.

Coach Frank Reich said Wentz also injured his left ankle earlier in the game.

Wentz did not practice with the team all week, but returned to the field on Friday in a limited capacity. He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans in Tennessee.

Happy Friday, #Colts fans.

Look who it is. After missing 2 days of practice, Carson Wentz is out here throwing (and moving well) ahead of their AFC South showdown vs. Tennessee.

Wentz had foot surgery Aug. 2 for a lingering foot injury that he had since high school.

Wentz's recovery time was estimated at five to 12 weeks but he was able to make his return for the Colts' season opener against the Seahawks, which the team lost 28-16.
