Nick Foles Suffers Broken Clavicle in First Game With Jaguars
By Paul Bowman, Sports Talk Philly Editor
The Eagles and their fans will always have a special place in their hearts for Nick Foles. When he signed with the Jaguars this offseason, there was no reason not to wish him well – he doesn’t play the Eagles and is in the AFC, so there is no negative playoff implications for the Eagles if he were to have an undefeated season.
Foles opened the 2019 season against the Kansas City Chiefs and he made the highlight reel with a big touchdown pass.
