Eagles to stick with Foles in Week 2

Nick Foles will continue to start at quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles for at least another week, coach Doug Pederson announced on Wednesday.

Carson Wentz is recovering from two torn knee ligaments suffered in Week 14 of the 2017 season last December and potentially could return for Week 3. He has not received medical clearance for contact but has been taking part in 11-on-11 drills since mid-August.

Foles, who led the Eagles to a Super Bowl championship after Wentz's injury, started in the NFL opener -- an 18-12 win over the visiting Atlanta Falcons.

He was just 19-for-34 passing for 117 yards with no touchdowns and an interception against the Falcons.

Wentz started 13 games last season before the injury, leading the Eagles to an 11-2 mark while throwing 33 touchdowns and completing 60.2 percent of his passes (265 of 440).

The Eagles play at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, host the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 23 and visit the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 30.
