Jaguars News: Nick Foles returns as starter after the bye week

Evidently, Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone did not need the off week to determine who would start at quarterback when the team faces the Indianapolis Colts on Nov. 17.

Nick Foles, the starter for Week 1 who broke his clavicle 10 plays into the NFL season, has reclaimed his position, meaning rookie Gardner Minshew will serve as the team’s backup.

Minshew, who filled in admirably in Foles’ absence, was 4-4 as a starter and garnered Rookie of the Week awards on six of the nine weeks he was on the field this season.
