Colts activate Wentz from COVID-19 list

The Indianapolis Colts activated quarterback Carson Wentz from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday and he should be able to start against visiting Las Vegas on Sunday.

Wentz, who is unvaccinated, must have a negative coronavirus test Sunday to be allowed to play under new protocols adopted by the NFL and the players’ union this past week. He went on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday and was required to isolate for five days.
