Foles Starting Week 2

[Sect 236]

per Dougie P

This quote from Chris Mortensen earlier this AM on twitter is telling though:

Nick Foles, one more start - once Eagles coach Doug Pederson announces

One more start.

all NFL teams are talented, but Indy's defense is among the least and so I think that's a good place to start Carson gearing up.

MY SPINEY SENSES SAY CARSON OUT THREE MORE WEEKS.

[Sect 236]

Put it this way, I think we see him next week, but if he can't go for whatever reason against Indy or even the following week against Ten, I don't bring him back for that Vikings game. We lit their asses up in the NFCCG but in general, they're a good, hard hitting D. Just ask Rodgers.

If he can't get his feet wet with games against the AFC South, I let him come back on the Thursday night showdown with Little Blue.

Reading the article where his doctor says...

MY SPINEY SENSES SAY CARSON OUT THREE MORE WEEKS.

Returning in less than 9 months after surgery increases the possibility of re-injuring the knee by 40% and the fact that the 9 month anniversary is THIS week suggests he very well may be starting next week.

Wentz comes out of the Linc tunnel next week as the starter

[McCarthy12]

I think this is right.

[Susquehanna Birder]

Same here. It's an iffy proposition against a surprising TB team. Home vs the Colts is a no brainer, provided he's medically cleared to play.

[TRENT]

Oct 7th has been my date since the spring

and nothing has changed!

[CbEagle]

Dude, you do NOT want to put a rusty Wentz out there for that game against that D. If they wait that long wait another week.

No surprises here. This isn't going to be an easy game but there is no sense in rushing Wentz back. I don't think it's about letting him sit out a certain amount of time or waiting for the right team to bring him back against. The doctors will clear him for contact when he's ready.

Would really like to see Jeffery come back at the same time. I don't like the idea of a rusty Wentz with no one to throw to.
