Will his offensive line block for him after the tweet?

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz shared a Memorial Day tribute on Monday morning featuring a photo of himself standing alongside soldiers during a pre-game National Anthem performance.
The photo, which shows Wentz holding the edge of an American flag between two soldiers, comes after the NFL announced its decision to punish teams whose players knelt in protest during the playing of The Star Spangled Banner.
‘Freedom sometimes comes at a cost,’ he wrote in the tweet. ‘Today, I just want to thank all of the brave men & women who have sacrificed so much to provide us w/ the freedoms we have in this country.
‘Its often taken for granted and y’all don’t get the recognition you deserve. So thank you & God bless!’
While several NFL players criticized President Donald Trump for backing the NFL’s decision to fine players, Wentz has said he is looking forward to the Eagles’ upcoming White House visit on June 5.
‘Personally, I don’t view it (this way), I know some people do, but I don’t view it as a political thing whatsoever. I don’t mess with politics very often, but I will be involved in going to that,’ Wentz said on Tuesday.
He added: ‘For me personally, if the team decides as a whole, most guys want to go and be a part of it, I will be attending with them. I think it’s just a cool way to receive the honor, kind of nationally and be recognized.’
