Eagles’ Kelly denies he has soured on Foles

Published

Mark Sanchez will be the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback while Nick Foles recovers from a cracked clavicle, but Eagles coach Chip Kelly took the time to deny a report that the Eagles are beginning to lose faith in Foles.

Foles will be out six to eight weeks with his injury, and NJ.com reported, based on sources familiar with the Eagles’ plans, that the team “isn’t sold that he’s the guy going forward.”

Kelly responded to the report Thursday.

“I don’t know where that stuff comes from,” Kelly said, according to PhillyMag.com. “I know this, I know I control the roster. And I think you guys can say first-hand, I don’t talk to anybody. So whoever says they have a source in terms of what’s gonna go on with roster maneuvers or people going up and people going down, they never talked to the right person because that comes from me, and that never was the case.

“I’ve got great faith in Nick, and I think he’s a hell of a quarterback, and I think sometimes he gets banged too much, but I wish there was more people like Nick Foles in our lives.”

Sanchez has a one-year contract, so his status with the Eagles for next season is uncertain at best.

Sanchez was 15-for-22 with two touchdown passes and two interceptions in Sunday’s 31-21 victory over the Houston Texans.

Foles had completed 59.9 percent of his passes this season with 13 touchdown passes and 10 interceptions. He has been sacked nine times.
