Foles is getting this opportunity due to an ankle injury for Fields and a groin injury to Andy Dalton.
Foles has 55 starts in his NFL career, posting a 28-27 record. Most of that work came as a member of Chip Kelly’s Eagles. He later returned to Philadelphia under Doug Pederson and helped lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl win following a season-ending injury to Carson Wentz.
