Its preseason...it'll be fine.
I sure hope Jason Peters comes back to form. Vitai will get Wentz or any QB killed the way he has played this preseason.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says that the fact that Wentz hasn't been cleared for contact and it's now only 10 days until the season opener is leading to doubts arising about whether he'll play week 1.

Wentz comes in at #17 in ESPN.com's top 100 NFL players going into the 2018 season. #4 amongst QBs (behind Rodgers, Brady, and Brees) and tops amongst players from non-FBS schools. He's #3 (behind Joey Bosa and Zeke Elliott) amongst players taken in the 2016 draft.

According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, the Eagles were pleased with how well Wentz was recovering from his ACL surgery. They are expecting him to be the starting quarterback in time for the 2018 regular season opener in September (this was in January).
