Carson Wentz will return to Indianapolis Colts practice on Monday, head coach Frank Reich announced.
The quarterback injured his foot during a training camp session on July 29 and had surgery on August 2.
He is set to return to practice just under three weeks before the Colts' September 12 opener against the Seattle Seahawks.
"You're going to see him out there on the practice field this week," Reich told reporters Sunday. "He'll be out there tomorrow taking some things."
Reich added: "He'll be limited but he will be participating."
The Colts acquired Wentz from the Philadelphia Eagles in March and have yet to see what he can do in game conditions.
The 28-year-old QB is coming off the worst season of his five-year NFL career, as he completed just 57.4 per cent of his passes and threw a career-high 15 interceptions despite playing in only 12 games as he was benched in favour of rookie Jalen Hurts in December.
Wentz also was sacked 50 times, the most of any quarterback in the league.
In Wentz's absence, the Colts have started second-year QB Jacob Eason in both of their pre-season games, and he has turned in solid performances in a pair of wins.
Eason is 31 of 48 for 315 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
Rookie Sam Ehlinger is the only other quarterback to see action and he has thrown three interceptions in 28 attempts.
