Nick Foles Suffers Significant Injury On MNF

Nick Foles was dumped on his lower back and right posterior hip late in the game with less than a minute to go on MNF. Foles was unable to get up and was carted off the field. Certainly it was a very painful injury but we are not expecting a major issue as we doubt it is a back or hip fracture. By video, it appears to be more of a hip pointer sacral contusion with spasming at the time of injury. He was carted to the locker room as a precaution but we expect relatively good news. With the Bears on bye Week 11, we think that it will be likely that Foles can return for Week 12, though Mitch Trubisky's situation complicates things. We have projected him for a Week 12 return as well from a subluxion to his throwing shoulder, and the team could be forced to start one of the two. Tyler Bray took the final snaps in the loss to the Vikings.
