Eagles QB Foles (shoulder) to play Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles won't miss any game action due to a shoulder injury suffered last week, as head coach Doug Pederson said the signal-caller will play Thursday against the Cleveland Browns.

According to Pederson, Foles will probably play the whole first half before giving way to third-stringer Nate Sudfeld. Starter Carson Wentz was ruled out on Monday as he continues his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

Foles suffered a shoulder strain when he was hit while throwing by New England Patriots defensive end Adrian Clayborn, who was credited with a strip sack.

He returned to practice this week and split first-team reps with Wentz, who worked his way back into team drills for the first time since early in camp, after being held out as a precaution. Wentz told reporters Monday that he feels "really good where I'm at," but stuck with his assessment last week that it will be "close" whether he is cleared for the regular-season opener against the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 6.

Meanwhile, running back Darren Sproles and left tackle Jason Peters, who are each coming back from a torn ACL, will not play against the Browns.
