Despite restructuring Michael Vick's contract and signing Dennis Dixon, the Philadelphia Eagles aren't shopping Foles and would want a first- or second-round pick to even consider it, a person familiar with the team's plans told The Associated Press on Friday.|||||||
The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the Eagles won't publicly discuss trade rumors, said new coach Chip Kelly and the front-office brass "haven't discussed trading Foles with any team." Foles was selected in the third round with the 88th overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. The Eagles "absolutely" rate his value higher than that because of his success as a rookie, the person said.
The Philadelphia Eagles have placed Foles on injured reserve.|||||||
Foles broke his hand in last Sunday's loss to Washington.
Foles has a broken right hand, and coach Andy Reid said Michael Vick will likely start against the New York Giants in Sunday's season finale.|||||||
Reid said Monday that Foles broke his throwing hand in the second quarter of a 27-20 loss to Washington, but returned to the game after X-rays at the stadium were negative. An MRI taken on Monday revealed a hairline fracture, Reid said. Reid added because it's a non-displaced fracture, Foles should be 100 percent in about three weeks.
Foles completed 32 of 48 for 345 yards, with one touchdown and one interception in the Eagles' loss to Washington on Sunday.|||||||
It was Foles' second 300-yard passing performance in three games.
Making his fifth straight start for Michael Vick, Foles threw for 182 yards, one TD and one interception in Thursday's loss to the Bengals.|||||||
Though Vick has been cleared to practice after suffering a concussion, Foles is expected to start the final two games.
