Nick Foles will start for Eagles, but Carson Wentz still not put on IR

Philadelphia Eagles coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Nick Foles will remain the team's starting quarterback in Week 16 against the Houston Texans.

Pederson told reporters that the Eagles want to give the injured Carson Wentz another week to recover from his back injury, and that they will not put Wentz on IR yet.

Foles, last season's Super Bowl MVP, led Philadelphia to an unlikely win over the visiting Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night.

He finished 24-of-31 for 270 yards and an interception, guiding the Eagles to the 30-point mark for just the second time all season.
