Colts Officially Add Nick Foles as Matt Ryan’s Backup

The Colts announced they signed quarterback Nick Foles to a two-year deal on Monday.

Indianapolis waived quarterback James Morgan to make room for Foles on the roster.

Foles has bounced around the NFL since getting drafted by the Eagles in 2012. His first three professional years were in Philadelphia, which included throwing 27 touchdown passes as the starter in 2013, but was traded to the Rams in ’15 for Sam Bradford.

He spent one season as a Ram in 2015, but Foles fizzled out after starting 11 games. He then backed up Alex Smith with the Chiefs for a season in ’16.
