Nick Foles will play in his first game since the Super Bowl on Thursday – and it comes against the team he beat in the Super Bowl. It’s a serendipitous matchup for the Super Bowl MVP, who missed the Eagles’ preseason opener last week with a muscle strain in his neck/trap area. He has practiced all week and is ready for his preseason debut against the New England Patriots.
“Pretty familiar with the opponent,” Foles said after Tuesday’s practice. “Obviously, it’s a new season, new personnel. … It’ll be fun just to be back on the field. Obviously, it’s the last team we played.
