But we haven’t seen or heard Carson Wentz mic’d up on the sideline.

In a video release by the Eagles on Tuesday, you can hear Wentz say, “I’ll give him my game check if he makes it.”

The Eagles recently signed Elliott, 22, off the Bengals practice squad after Caleb Sturgis suffered a quad injury. Elliott’s salary is around the league minimum at $465,000. Wentz, the Eagles’ No. 2 overall pick in 2016, signed a four-year deal worth $26,676,338.

His game check is worth almost 32,000, according to Mike Garafolo.

Wentz’s 2017 base salary is $1,662,561 according to overthecap.com.
