After a scare, Eagles' Nick Foles says he is ready to shoulder the load again

Nick Foles expects to quarterback the Eagles for a half or so Thursday night at Cleveland, which is kind of remarkable, given the way Foles left last week’s preseason game against the Patriots.

Foles came away from an Adrian Clayborn strip-sack wincing and holding his passing arm. He left the game immediately, a series earlier than planned. Though Foles said afterward he didn’t think he was seriously injured, the Eagles announced a “shoulder strain,” and said Foles would undergo an MRI exam the next day. He’d just come back, after missing the preseason opener with muscle spasms in his neck-trapezius area.
