(Christian Headlines) Indianapolis quarterback Sam Ehlinger says his Christian faith has helped him stay grounded as he competes for snaps and a starting job during his rookie season.
Ehlinger was drafted in May out of the University of Texas and was expected to be a backup, but was thrust into a quarterback competition when starter Carson Wentz suffered a foot injury in late July. Although Wentz was expected to return to practice Monday, he won’t be 100 percent. It isn’t known who will start at quarterback in the Colts’ regular-season opener Sept. 12 against Seattle.
Ehlinger has competed with Jacob Eason during the preseason.
