Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz gave backup Nick Foles a vote of confidence in a video message released Monday night on Twitter.
Wentz expressed his belief that Foles will step in during his absence and play well for the NFC-leading Eagles:
Per ESPN.com, Wentz said, "I have the utmost confidence in Nick and the coaching staff that they will step up. We have been plagued with injuries all year long. It's just been the next-man-up mentality and that's going to continue. That's just going to continue. Nick's going to do an amazing job and lead this team now and I'm going to be there to support in whatever way I can.
