PHILADELPHIA -- Nick Foles is expected to be the Eagles' starter in their season opener Thursday against the Atlanta Falcons, sources who have weighed in on Philadelphia's quarterback situation tell ESPN.
The decision gives Carson Wentz more time to rehab from the torn ACL and LCL in his left knee.
The Eagles have not officially named a starting quarterback for Thursday's night's game. Coach Doug Pederson told reporters earlier in the week that he would likely know who was starting by Friday, but that the public reveal could come as late as "90 minutes before kickoff.
