Nick Foles offered some insight Tuesday into his absence from the last three Eagles practices, and some other subjects, at the end of a blazing hot day of training camp work at the NovaCare Complex.
The injury takeaway first: “Muscle spasms. Nothing crazy,” Foles said, pointing to his collarbone-top of shoulder, trapezius muscle region. “Trap-neck area. Going to be fine … not a big deal. We’re just being smart.”
Foles missed all of training camp and the preseason last year with a sore elbow, so there was concern. With No. 1 quarterback Carson Wentz very unlikely to play in the preseason, and currently not practicing 11-on-11, Foles’ absence puts a large workload on Nate Sudfeld and Joe Callahan.
