Eagles ahead of their wild card weekend matchup against the Chicago Bears: Nick Foles is expected to start on Sunday. More from NFL insider Mike Garafolo:Foles left the Eagles’ Week 17 game against Washington early with a chest injury and did not return. FOX field reporter Laura Okmin said she saw Foles doubled over in pain inside the tunnel at FedEx Field. Adam Schefter was quick to report that the Eagles believed Foles was “OK” after bruising his ribs. Foles showing up for his postgame press conference was also taken to be a positive sign.Now we have even more indication Foles will start against the Bears. Philadelphia will need another big effort from their reigning Super Bowl MVP. Chicago’s defense is a tough unit that ranks No. 1 in defensive DVOA. Bears pass rushers Khalil Mack and Akiem Hicks will be trying to get some hits on Foles to make him feel even more pain.Since coming in to start for the Eagles in Week 15 Alshon Jeffery Jersey , Foles is completing a whopping 77% of his passes for 962 yards (8.5 average), six touchdowns, three interceptions, and a 108.4 passer rating. It remains to be seen if Foles’ sore ribs will limit his effectiveness in Chicago. If Foles has to leave early Authentic Nick Foles Jersey , Nate Sudfeld figures to be the backup ... unless the Eagles decide to dress Carson Wentz? That doesn’t seem likely but it’s worth noting that No. 11 still hasn’t been placed on injured reserve.The Eagles must be thankful to have gotten a Sunday game instead of having to play on Saturday.UPDATE: Doug Pederson officially confirms Foles will start in Chicago.Eagles players celebrate the return of Carson Wentz It’s been a long time since the Eagles’ franchise quarterback Carson Wentz went down with a knee injury. (Granted, he didn’t stay down for long and threw for a touchdown before heading to the locker room, but I digress...) But now, HE’S BACK!Wentz has finally been cleared for contact Youth Chris Long Jersey , which means he’ll be out on the field with his Philadelphia brothers in this Sunday’s Week 3 contest against the Colts. Doug Pederson stepped up to the podium on Monday with the biggest smile to deliver the news, and Wentz and his teammates continued their celebration online.Let’s enjoy this for a little bit before we talk about whether or not he has enough receivers, or if the offensive line can do a better job at keeping him upright...And it wasn’t just current Eagles celebrating the return of THE Carson Wentz, but several team alumni chimed in as well.Wentz was sure to take a moment and thank Nick Foles for filling in Cheap Mike Wallace Jersey , and for being a great guy to learn from while having to sit on the sideline. Classy move from a classy dude.
