Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz returned to the practice field Friday despite two sprained ankles.

The passer was limited at Friday's session and will likely be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Tennessee Titans, head coach Frank Reich said, according to Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star. Reich was shocked at how much progress Wentz has made.

"I'm very surprised we're even at this point, honestly, because Monday and Tuesday was pretty bad," Reich said, per George Bremer of the Herald Bulletin.

Wentz exited last Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams after he was tackled by defensive tackle Aaron Donald.

Reich wouldn't name a replacement if Wentz is unable to play in Week 3. Jacob Eason finished the Week 2 contest, but Brett Hundley might also be elevated from the practice squad and split time at quarterback.

Right tackle Braden Smith and linebacker Jordan Glasgow were ruled out for Sunday's game.
