Declines 2019 option
Foles declined his $20 million mutual option for 2019 on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Eagles exercised their side of the option earlier Tuesday night and Foles wasted little time issuing his decision to pay the $2 million buyout. Philadelphia now has until March 5 to place the franchise tag on Foles -- which is expected to be about $25 million for quarterbacks in 2019 -- or he will hit free agency. The team would do so in an attempt to trade the veteran quarterback, looking to receive a more immediate return than the compensatory draft pick it could be given should he depart…read more

Eagles exercise 2019 option
The Eagles picked up Foles' $20 million mutual option for 2019 on Tuesday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Foles now has five days to accept the option or decline and pay back $2 million from his 2018 bonus to become a free agent. Things get a bit messier should the veteran quarterback pick up his side of the option, as the Eagles' dire cap situation makes it difficult to carry such a high cap figure heading into the 2019 season, as they would attempt to work out a trade. Regardless, Foles will assuredly be sought after given his performance in Philadelphia the past two seasons.

Option likely to be picked up
The Eagles are expected to pick up Foles' $20.6 million option for 2019, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: This move was expected, and whenever it officially happens, Foles will then have five days in order to accept the option or to decline and pay back $2 million to become an unrestricted free agent. There's a litany of different scenarios that could follow after that point, including the Eagles working with Foles to potentially engineer a trade should the 29-year-old accept the option -- regardless, Foles is expected to be a hot commodity in the offseason with a number of quarterback-needy teams…read more

Cools off after hot start
Foles completed 18 of 30 passes for 201 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions during the Eagles' 20-14 divisional-round playoff loss to the Saints on Sunday. He also netted zero yards on two rushes but scored a one-yard touchdown.
Analysis: Foles and the Eagles looked like they were getting ready to cook up another serving of postseason magic early on, as they took a surprising 14-0 first-quarter lead. He first found Jordan Matthews on a perfect 37-yard pass downfield to open the scoring, and Foles then added his own one-yard touchdown dive later in the period to cap off a 10-play, 75-yard march. However, that would be it in terms of any appreciable success for the veteran signal-caller and Philadelphia itself, as the Saints…read more

Retains starting role
Coach Doug Pederson confirmed Monday that Foles would remain the Eagles' starting quarterback for the team's matchup with the Saints this weekend in the NFC divisional round, Zach Berman of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: The decision was an obvious one with Foles having guided the Eagles to four straight victories -- including a road upset of the Bears in the wild-card round Sunday -- while Carson Wentz has been recovering from a back fracture. Pederson noted that Wentz is "still getting healthy," but the 2016 first-round pick won't be available even in a backup capacity versus New Orleans, leaving Nate Sudfeld to work as Foles' understudy. It's generally expected that Wentz will remain sidelined for the…read more

Playoff heroics continue
Foles completed 25 of 40 passes for 266 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 16-15 wild-card-round win over the Bears.
Analysis: Foles bounced back beautifully after a pair of first-half interceptions. He put his team up 10-6 with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Dallas Goedert in the third quarter, capping a drive that benefited from a third-down personal foul on the defense and a 33-yard pass interference call. After the Bears retook the lead, Foles engineered yet another game-winning drive, finding Golden Tate for a two-yard touchdown on fourth down with 56 seconds left in the game.

Gearing up for wild-card game
Foles (ribs) came out of Thursday's practice unscathed and should be good to go for Sunday's wild-card game at Chicago, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Foles was able to return to full participation at practice Thursday as his bruised ribs apparently didn't cause much of an issue. The veteran quarterback will serve as Philadelphia's starter with Carson Wentz (back) likely sidelined for any potential playoff run. The 29-year-old will hope to recapture the same form that helped him lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory last season, but has a tall task against a Bears defense that hasn't allowed more than 17 points in the last four games.

Full participant Thursday
Foles (ribs) participated fully in Thursday's practice session, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Foles' full participation Thursday is certainly a good sign, as it presumably signifies he will be ready to roll for the team's wild-card game against the Bears on Sunday. For a second straight season, the Eagles are expected to rely on Foles for their playoff run following news that Carson Wentz (back) likely won't take the field. With a championship already under his belt, Foles should be well equipped for a second straight postseason run, but a tough challenge awaits against a Chicago…read more

Listed as limited
Foles (ribs) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Analysis: Foles has already been named as the starter for Sunday's playoff game in Chicago. His bruised ribs may still be a bit sore coming out of the Eagles' Week 17 win over the Redskins, but his availability for the wild-card round isn't in any question.

Named as starter for opening round
Coach Doug Pederson said Foles (ribs/chest) will start Sunday's playoff game in Chicago, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: With multiple reports suggesting Carson Wentz (back) won't be available during the playoffs, the only remaining question was whether Foles suffered a significant injury during Sunday's 24-0 win over Washington. Diagnosed with bruised ribs Monday morning, the 29-year-old quarterback is expected to be fine by Sunday, though it won't come as any surprise if he shows up on the injury report this week. Foles will face a defense that led the league in interceptions (27), yards allowed per pass…read more

Avoids serious rib injury
Foles was diagnosed with bruised ribs after undergoing additional testing Monday and is expected to be ready to play in the Eagles' matchup with the Bears in the NFC wild-card round this weekend, sources told Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Analysis: Just as the Eagles had hoped, Foles avoided a fracture to his rib cage after he was removed from the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-0 win over the Redskins with the injury. Prior to departing, Foles had the Eagles well in control of the game, with the quarterback finishing the day with 28 completions on 33 attempts for 221 yards, two touchdowns and an interception before giving way to backup Nate Sudfeld. Foles' reps in practice could be restricted in the upcoming days as a means of managing the…read more

To be tested further Monday
Foles is slated for additional tests Monday on the chest/rib injury he suffered during Sunday's 24-0 victory at Washington, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Foles made an abbreviated exit early in the fourth quarter, and while he has yet to receive an official diagnosis, there's a belief that he suffered bruised ribs, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. X-rays and an MRI likely are on Foles' docket Monday, at which point the nature of the injury will become known. Despite the health concern, the Eagles think Foles will be fine for a visit to Chicago in the wild-card round next weekend.

Picks up presumed rib injury
Foles is believed to have suffered bruised ribs during Sunday's 24-0 win at Washington, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: In back-to-back weeks, Foles took some tough hits in the second half, incurring injuries to his torso. The initial diagnosis appears to be to his ribs, but the Eagles' medical staff will hone in on the nature of the issue in the coming days. In his stead, Nate Sudfeld finished off the victory Sunday, but Foles will be under center in the wild-card round if the team reaches the postseason in the event of a Vikings loss to the Bears.

Battling chest issue
Foles exited Sunday's game against the Redskins with a chest injury.
Analysis: Foles walked to the locker room early in the fourth quarter, but it remains unclear when exactly he sustained the injury. Nate Sudfeld has taken over at quarterback as the Eagles lead 24-0 midway through the fourth quarter, so the team is unlikely to bring Foles back if there is even slight concern for his injury.

Confirmed as Week 17 starter
Coach Doug Pederson confirmed Monday that Foles' ribs are fine and that the QB will start this coming Sunday's game against Washington, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Per ESPN's Tim McManus, Foles -- who took a hit to his midsection late in Sunday's win over the Texans -- underwent X-rays afterward, but the signal-caller is evidently fine. It remains to be seen who might start for the Eagles if the team makes the playoffs, but with Carson Wentz still nursing a back injury, Foles -- who completed 35 of 49 passes for 471 yards, with four TDs and a pick Week 16 -- will continue to start for 8-7 Philadelphia.

Sets franchise mark in win
Foles completed 35 of 49 passing attempts for 471 yards, four touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 32-30 win over the Texans. He also rushed once for one yard.
Analysis: Foles came up clutch once again, leading the Eagles down the field for a game-winning field goal despite briefly leaving after a vicious hit by Jadeveon Clowney on the game's final drive. His 471 passing yards set the Eagles' mark for most in a single game. With the 29-year-old playing so well once again, it's tough to believe he won't get another start in a very winnable Week 17 matchup at Washington while Carson Wentz continues to recover from a back injury.

Getting another start
Coach Doug Pederson named Foles as his starter for Week 16 against the Texans, Daniel Gallen of The Harrisburg Patriot-News reports.
Analysis: Pederson didn't seem sure about the situation earlier Monday morning, but he's apparently settled on a decision just a few hours later. Foles completed 24 of 31 passes for 270 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Rams, keeping Philadelphia alive in the playoff hunt. Carson Wentz (back) won't be brought back this week, but Pederson did say his franchise quarterback will remain on the 53-man roster, rather than being placed on injured reserve. The Eagles…read more

Plays role of backup hero again
Foles competed 24 of 31 pass attempts for 270 yards, no touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Foles filled in for injured starter Carson Wentz (back), and the Super Bowl LII MVP delivered in a must-win game. The lack of touchdowns was the biggest negative on the veteran's day from a fantasy perspective, but 270 yards on a 77.4 completion percentage is about as good of a performance as you could ask for in the face of a ferocious defensive line. The Eagles probably were considering shutting Wentz down if the Eagles lost, so winning the game actually clouds Foles' chances of starting…read more

Locked in as Week 15 starter
Foles will start Sunday against the Rams with Carson Wentz (back) ruled out for the contest, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.
Analysis: It's a development that has been in the cards for a few days after it was reported that Wentz was dealing with a fractured back, which ultimately prevented him from practicing this week before he was listed as doubtful on the Eagles' final injury report. After evaluating Wentz again Saturday, the Eagles unsurprisingly decided that the franchise signal-caller wouldn't be ready to go, so Foles will earn his first start since Week 3 as Philadelphia looks to keep its fading playoff hopes alive.

Eyeing starting assignment Sunday
Foles is in line to start Sunday's contest versus the Rams with Carson Wentz (back) doubtful to play, Dave Spadaro of the Eagles' official site reports.
Analysis: Foles' elevation was set in motion by Tuesday's CT scan of Wentz, which revealed a stress fracture in his back. Reports have oscillated between Wentz not playing, potentially suiting up, and now doubtful to play this weekend. Beyond Sunday, it's anybody's guess as to if Wentz will be able to return, but Foles has taken every first-team rep in practice this week with an eye toward being under center. Including the Eagles' run to the Super Bowl and two games this season, Foles completed 64.7…read more

Could get Week 15 starting nod
Foles could serve as the Eagles' starting quarterback Sunday against the Rams with Carson Wentz (back) uncertain to be available, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: When he met with the media Wednesday, coach Doug Pederson said Wentz would miss the Eagles' first practice of the week with back soreness/tightness and wouldn't commit to the franchise signal-caller being ready to go by the weekend. More doubt about Wentz's status emerged shortly after Pederson's comments to the press when Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Wentz would likely sit out Sunday and could be shut down for the season.

Headed to bench
Foles will return to a backup role after head coach Doug Pederson announced Monday that quarterback Carson Wentz (knee) has received full medical clearance and will reassume the starting job.
Analysis: Foles was always considered a placeholder anyway while Wentz worked his way back from a torn ACL he sustained last December. The Super Bowl LII MVP completed roughly 66 percent of his passes in his two starts and was the serviceable option Philadelphia knew he would be, but Foles no longer has any fantasy appeal unless Wentz suffers some kind of setback down the road.

Explodes for 334-yard effort in loss
Foles completed 35 of 48 passes for 334 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Eagles' 27-21 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed three times for eight yards and lost a fumble.
Analysis: Foles averaged a modest 7.0 yards per attempt during the contest, as the Buccaneers defense brought him down for three sacks and hit him on 12 occasions overall. In addition to frequently being under duress, the veteran also played another contest without Alshon Jeffery (shoulder), while Mike Wallace exited the game for good in the first quarter due to an ankle issue and Jay Ajayi missed part of the first half with a back injury.

Named Week 2 starter
Philadelphia head coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that Foles would start at quarterback in the team's Week 2 game at Tampa Bay, Dave Spadaro of the Eagles' official site reports.
Analysis: The decision comes as little surprise with Carson Wentz (knee) still without a firm target date for a return after having yet to receive clearance to take contact in practices, per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia. Foles struggled to direct the offense in the Eagles' 18-12 season-opening win over the Falcons, completing only 19 of 34 passes and tossing an interception while averaging a lowly 3.4 yards per attempt. That ugly showing won't overshadow Foles' impressive body of work during…read more

Rides coattails of running game, defense in opener
Foles completed 19 of 34 passes for 117 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in the Eagles' 18-12 win over the Falcons on Thursday. He also logged a 15-yard reception, lost a yard on his sole rush and fumbled once but recovered.
Analysis: Foles' final line was an accurate summation of his sluggish night, one in which he averaged a paltry 3.4 yards per attempt and counted an 18-yard connection to Zach Ertz as his longest completion. Foles often looked out of sorts when throwing to anyone but Ertz and Nelson Agholor, coming up empty on three attempts to current No. 2 receiver Mike Wallace and even misfiring thrice on relatively high-percentage throws to Darren Sproles. Foles' one interception wasn't entirely his fault, however,…read more

Draws Week 1 start
Foles is slated to draw the start at QB for the Eagles in Thursday's season opener against the Falcons.
Analysis: The Eagles are wisely proceeding deliberately with Carson Wentz (knee), so Foles will draw at least one start for the team out of the gate. Foles is a serviceable Week 1 fantasy lineup plug-in, but note that he'll be working without top wideout Alshon Jeffery (shoulder), who is expected to miss the first two weeks of the season.

Turns it over thrice
Foles completed 13 of 17 passes for 127 yards and two interceptions during Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Browns. He also lost a fumble during the contest.
Analysis: Foles tripped over himself for a safety, fumbled, floated an easy pick into double coverage, and then threw a second interception in the red zone. Foles will forever be a Philly legend, but he's turned the ball over four times in just over three quarters of action this preseason and has yet to lead the Eagles on a scoring drive. Franchise QB Carson Wentz (knee) has resumed 11-on-11 work, but it still has yet to be decided if he'll be cleared to play in Week 1.

He returned to practice Sunday without incident, setting him up for extended playing time Thursday in Cleveland.

Analysis: Coach Doug Pederson indicated that Foles is "fine" after suffering a shoulder strain Thursday against the Patriots. Meanwhile, Carson Wentz (knee) is ready to see 11-on-11 work, but his Week 1 status has yet to be solidified. Foles remains in the mix for early season action as long as that's the case, and it's possible a call on that front won't arrive until the week leading up to the Eagles' Sept. 6 opener against the Falcons.

Analysis: Foles was hit early and often during his time in Thursday's game, getting sacked three times while completing just 3-of-9 passes for 44 yards.

It would mark his first time on the field since earning Super Bowl MVP honors back in February, but he could be in for a rude welcome in the home stadium of the opponent he defeated in that game.

Eagles coach Doug Pederson said the team hasn't come close to trading Foles, NJ.com's Eliot Shorr-Parks reports.
Analysis: The incentive to make a trade largely evaporated March 17 when Foles collected a $3 million roster bonus. It now makes sense for the Eagles to take their time seeing how Carson Wentz recovers from a late-season ACL tear, perhaps revisiting a trade for Foles in August if their starter is on track for Week 1. The Eagles reportedly were targeting a first-round pick in exchange for the Super Bowl MVP.

Foles will collect a $3 million roster bonus from the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The bonus already was fully guaranteed, but the Eagles could've avoided the cap hit if they'd traded Foles by Saturday. While this doesn't necessarily rule out a trade, the team presumably would have preferred to deal Foles before the bonus kicked in. It does make sense to keep him around, as there's no guarantee Carson Wentz will be recovered from a torn ACL in time for Week 1.

Foles is drawing interest in trade talks, but the Eagles want even more than what they got for Sam Bradford, who was traded to the Vikings in September of 2016 in exchange for a 2017 first-round pick and a 2018 fourth-round pick, ESPN.com's Chris Mortensen reports.
Analysis: Despite his recent Super Bowl MVP performance, Foles probably won't warrant a first-round selection plus additional compensation ahead of the second season of a two-year contract. While they may be aiming a bit high, it's understandable the Eagles won't part with Foles easily, as there's no guarantee Carson Wentz (knee) is ready for Week 1 of 2018. It does help that Foles carries a $4 million base salary, which now looks like one of the top bargains in the league among quarterbacks that aren't…read more

Leads Eagles to SB LII win with sensational effort
Foles completed 28 of 43 passes for 373 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in the Eagles' 41-33 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl LII on Sunday. He also caught a one-yard touchdown on a trick play late in the second quarter and was named the MVP of the game.
Analysis: Foles put quite the exclamation point on his improbable season with a spectacular performance against the Tom Brady-led Patriots, helping lead the Eagles to the first Super Bowl victory in franchise history. The 29-year-old connected with Alshon Jeffery on a beautiful 34-yard pass in the left corner of the end zone for the first touchdown of the game late in the first quarter, and he gave Philadelphia a 22-12 halftime lead when he caught a one-yard touchdown pass from Trey Burton just before…read more

Ribs feeling 'great'
Foles said his ribs are "great" in the aftermath of Sunday's 38-7 win against the Vikings, Daniel Gallen of pennlive.com reports.
Analysis: During the NFC championship game, Foles was on the receiving end of some hits from the Vikings defense, which prompted "precautionary X-rays," per the quarterback. Adding credence to his assessment, his name wasn't mentioned among the few Eagles on the first injury report related to the Super Bowl, according to Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. Foles enters the season finale on a two-game hot streak in which he completed 78 percent (49 of 63) of his throws, averaged 9.5 yards per…read more

Undergoes X-rays on ribs
Foles underwent precautionary X-rays on his ribs Sunday following the Eagles' 38-7 win over the Vikings in the NFC championship game, a source informed Sal Paolantonio of ESPN. "I'm good," Foles told Adam Schefter of ESPN after being examined in the locker room.
Analysis: If Foles was playing hurt Sunday, it certainly didn't show, as the quarterback turned in the best outing of his five starts since replacing MVP candidate Carson Wentz (knee). Foles completed 26 of 33 passes for 352 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, with the performance made all the more impressive considering it came against the NFL's top-scoring defense. The Eagles could monitor Foles' practice reps carefully over the next two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl matchup with New…read more

Foles was tremendous in Sunday's 38-7 NFC championship triumph over the Vikings, completing 26 of 33 passes for 352 yards and three touchdowns.
Analysis: Minnesota's defense was able to make Foles uncomfortable in the pocket early, but he did a great job of escaping and finding receivers downfield. He was most impressive on third down, converting 10 of 14 tries against a Vikings unit that had been historically proficient at getting off the field in such situations. Foles' touchdown passes of 53, 41 and five yards to Alshon Jeffery, Torrey Smith and Jeffery again, respectively, should have him brimming with confidence heading into the Super Bowl.

Foles completed 23 of 30 pass attempts for 246 yards in Saturday's 15-10 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Foles managed the game efficiently, completing an impressive 77 percent of his passes while posting a healthy 8.2 yards per attempt. He didn't find the end zone and mustered just one pass play longer than 21 yards, but he took care of the ball and avoided costly mistakes. Now that he's displayed that he can fill in competently enough to allow the team's other strengths to lead, Foles will lead the Eagles into next week's NFC championship game against either the Saints or the Vikings.

Head coach Doug Pederson reiterated Tuesday that Foles will be the Eagles' starting quarterback during the postseason, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Analysis: Earning the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs afforded the Eagles a first-round bye, and they'll use it to regroup around Foles, whose effectiveness devolved in each of his three starts in place of Carson Wentz (knee). In Week 17 against the Cowboys, in particular, Foles completed four of 11 passes for 39 yards and one interception before handing the reigns to second-year signal caller Nate Sudfeld, who ended the day 19-for-23 passing for 134 yards. With two weeks to prepare, Foles and the Eagles…read more

Foles completed four of 11 pass attempts for 39 yards and one interception prior to his removal Sunday against the Cowboys.
Analysis: The team hardly deviated from their plan to give Foles about a quarter's worth of work. He managed an underwhelming 3.5 yards per attempt and nearly fumbled the ball away before throwing an interception on the next play toward the end of the first period. Foles shined in his first start after the injury to Carson Wentz (knee), but he totaled just 202 yards and one touchdown compared to two interceptions over his final five quarters of play. That said, he'll look to right the ship before…read more

Won't play full game
Foles is expected to start and play about one quarter in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cowboys, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: With the Eagles locked in as the No. 1 seed throughout the NFC playoffs, head coach Doug Pederson can be judicious about using his starters, but understands Foles hasn't had much work with Philadelphia's recievers. He'll get enough work to stay sharp before he's pulled in favor of backup Nate Sudfeld.

Prepping for Week 17 start
Foles was taking the first-team reps at Thursday's practice and indicated that he's preparing to start Sunday against the Cowboys, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Though Foles won for the second time in as many starts Week 16 against the Raiders, it was the Eagles' defense that largely carried to the team to the victory, as the quarterback completed only half of his 38 passes for 163 yards and threw a fourth-quarter interception in the contest. The win locked up home-field advantage for the Eagles throughout the NFC playoffs, but with a first-round bye on tap, head coach Doug Pederson seemingly wants Foles to stay fresh and end the regular season on a…read more

Unlikely to play full game in finale
Eagles head coach Doug Pederson suggested that Foles would start Sunday's game against the Cowboys, but the quarterback appears unlikely to play all four quarters, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.
Analysis: In his second start of the season in place of Carson Wentz (knee) in Week 16, Foles led the Eagles to a 19-10 win over the 6-9 Raiders, but his performance against a porous defense didn't inspire much confidence with the playoffs rapidly approaching. Foles completed just 19 of 38 passes for 163 yards, one touchdown and an interception in the contest, so it appears Pederson is eager to have the signal caller conclude the regular season on a high note. Since the 13-2 Eagles have clinched…read more

Foles completed 19 of 38 passes for 163 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Monday night's 19-10 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Foles' performance was highlighted by a 17-yard touchdown pass to Jay Ajayi during the first quarter. Other than that, he struggled to move the ball Monday. While that raises concern ahead of the playoffs, Monday's victory allowed the Eagles to clinch the top seed in the NFC. With that place secured, it'll be interesting to see how Foles is managed in advance of Week 17's visit from the Cowboys.

Could be rested down stretch
The Eagles might consider replacing Foles with Nate Sudfeld as soon as Week 16 against the Raiders, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice reports.
Analysis: If the Packers were to beat the Vikings on Saturday, the Eagles would be locked in as the NFC's No. 1 seed ahead of a Monday night game against the Raiders. Even if Foles were to get the start in that scenario, there'd be serious reason to question whether he'd play the entire game. Eagles head coach Doug Pederson has already specifically stated his desire to get Sudfeld his first taste of NFL regular-season action before the team begins its playoff run.

Foles completed 24 of 38 passes for 237 yards and four touchdowns during Sunday's 34-29 win over the Giants.
Analysis: It wasn't a perfect beginning for Philadelphia with the Giants jumping on them early, but Foles helped the Eagles retake the lead for good in the third quarter with a 10-yard jump ball to Nelson Agholor for his fourth score of the game. The veteran passer made it look like it was 2013 again by efficiently spreading the ball out to his weapons on the perimeter. Sure, the hapless Giants aren't a great litmus test for quality quarterbacking, but the good news is that Foles won't be tested much for…read more

Foles will start Sunday's game against the Giants and is expected to remain the Eagles' No. 1 quarterback the rest of the season after Carson Wentz (knee) was placed on injured reserve earlier this week, David George of the Eagles' official site reports.
Analysis: Foles has big shoes to fill with the loss of Wentz, who guided the Eagles to an 11-2 record while passing for 3,296 yards and 33 touchdowns before tearing his ACL in the Week 14 win over the Rams. Though Foles has provided one season of elite production -- his 27:2 TD:INT ratio across 13 games in 2013 in his first stint with the Eagles -- he's bounced around the league mostly in a backup role the past three seasons. The 28-year-old at least acquitted himself well after replacing Wentz in the…read more

Relieves injured Wentz in Sunday's win
Foles entered Sunday's 43-35 win over the Rams in the fourth quarter in place of injured starting quarterback Carson Wentz (knee), completing six of 10 passes for 42 yards and gaining nine yards on a scramble.
Analysis: While he wasn't responsible for any touchdowns, Foles was cool under pressure with the Eagles trailing by four points on the road in the final quarter. He led the team on two successful drives that culminated in field goals by Jake Elliott, with the kicker's conversion from 33 yards with 3:45 remaining holding up as the game-winning score. Although he acquitted himself well in relief Sunday, Foles would be hard pressed to match the production Wentz has posted in a starting role throughout his…read more
