Nick Foles: Announces retirement
Nick Foles announced his retirement from professional football Thursday via social media.Best remembered for leading Philadelphia to its first Super Bowl championship during the 2017 season and taking home the game's MVP honors in the 41-33 win over the Patriots, Foles will will officially retire as a member of the Eagles during the team's Sept. 16 home opener versus the Falcons. Selected by the Eagles in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft, Foles tied a single-game NFL record with seven passing touchdowns in a game against the Raiders in 2013 during his first stint in Philadelphia, then matched another NFL record with 25 consecutive completions in a game in 2018 during his second stint with the team. In addition to his two stints with Philadelphia, Foles also suited up for the Rams, Chiefs, Jaguars, Bears and Colts during an 11-year NFL career.

Colts' Nick Foles: Confirmed for Week 17 start
Interim head coach Jeff Saturday confirmed Nick Foles will remain the Indianapolis Colts' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Giants, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.Despite struggling mightily in his first extended action of the season in Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers, Foles will be awarded another start while the Colts continue to look for an answer at quarterback while the campaign winds down. Foles completed 17 of 29 pass attempts for 143 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions while taking seven sacks in the Week 16 loss. If Foles is unable to show much improvement during the upcoming weekend, Saturday could turn to Matt Ryan or second-year player Sam Ehlinger to start the Jan. 8 season finale versus the Texans.

Colts' Nick Foles: Likely to get another start
Nick Foles is expected to make a second consecutive start Sunday against the Giants, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. "Six more days until you're back out there," interim head coach Jeff Saturday told Foles following Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.Seeing his first extended action of the season, Foles was unable to end the Indianapolis Colts' four-game losing streak, completing 17 of 29 attempts for 143 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions while taking seven sacks. Though he was unable to exceed the low standards that Matt Ryan and Sam Ehlinger set during their 12 and two starts this season, Foles looks like he'll be given a chance to redeem himself after he had less than a week to prep for Monday's starting assignment. If the veteran QB fails to show much improvement against the Giants, it's possible that the Colts will turn the offense back over to Ehlinger or Ryan for the regular-season finale Jan. 8 versus the Texans.

Colts' Nick Foles: Poor showing in loss
Nick Foles completed 17 of 29 passes for 143 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions in Monday's 20-3 loss to the Chargers.Foles made his first start of the season, though his performance closely resembled that of the benched Matt Ryan. Foles turned the ball over three times, but he also wasn't helped by the Indianapolis Colts' offensive line and was sacked seven times. His day was highlighted by a few long completions, two of which came early in the game to Jelani Woods for gains of 17 and 15 yards. It's unclear whether Foles will remain the starter for a Week 17 matchup against the Giants.

Colts' Nick Foles: Set to start in Week 16
Nick Foles will start at quarterback in Monday's game against the Chargers, JJ Stankevitz of the Indianapolis Colts official site reports. "I feel like Nick will give us a better chance to win these last three games," interim head coach Jeff Saturday said Wednesday.Foles will take over the reins of the Indianapolis offense for Matt Ryan, who returns to the bench after the 4-9-1 Colts surrendered a 33-point lead in last week's overtime loss to the Vikings. Though Foles' recent track record doesn't make him a comfortable starting option in leagues that start just one quarterback, he could have some utility in two-quarterback or superflex formats Week 16. Saturday said that he hasn't decided whether Ryan or Sam Ehlinger will back up Foles on Monday, while adding that Indianapolis' plan at quarterback will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis for the final three games of the season.
