Nick Foles doesn’t look like Nick Foles any more.
But Eagles coach Chip Kelly insisted there was nothing physically wrong with his quarterback.
According to Geoff Mosher of CSNPhilly.com, Kelly said his quarterback hasn’t missed any time, and hasn’t had any MRIs.
“He hasn’t had any of that,” Kelly said. “He just got banged in the shoulder. He hasn’t missed a day of practice [and] hasn’t missed a rep throwing.”
That’s not for a lack of trying by his opponents. The hit he took from Washington’s Chris Baker two weeks ago probably still has some teeth loose, and Foles followed with an uncharacteristic performance against the 49ers last week.
Completing fewer than 50 percent of his passes and throwing two picks, it wasn’t the kind of clean performance we’re accustomed to, and there were more hard shots.
But he wasn’t on the injury report Wednesday, and Kelly said he had no examinations scheduled. So it must be something else.
