This is going to be very interesting. On Wednesday, Reid stepped to the podium and gave what qualifies as a surprising piece of information. Despite Alex Smith being cleared of a concussion, he wil not start this weekend against the Jaguars.
Reid stated that it is only because Smith ha a bump on his head while his ear continues to heal from the laceration it sustained on Sunday in the 30-14 win over the Indianapolis Colts. With that, Foles will earn his first start since last year, when he was benched by the St. Louis Rams in favor of Case Keenum.
