Foles' injury not as bad as originally thought

[Staley Da Bear]

Nagy told reporters that he doesn't expect Foles to be placed on injured reserve, a move that would sideline him for at least three games, saying: "I don't see that happening."


Foles and fellow quarterback Mitchell Trubisky now are both dealing with injuries. Trubisky has missed the last two games after hurting his right shoulder on a 3-yard run Nov. 1 in a loss to the Saints at Soldier Field.


On Tuesday, Nagy left open the possibility of starting Trubisky a week from Sunday when the Bears return to action following their bye week by visiting the Packers in Green Bay. According to the coach, the health of the quarterbacks will be a key factor in making that determination.


"They're both a little banged up," Nagy said. "That's the No. 1 thing that we have to look at. What we'll do, in complete honesty, is we'll take this bye week here again and we will self-scout ourselves and we will see the 'wheres' and the 'whys,' and whatever we need to do, we will do on a lot of different areas.


"When you lose four games in a row, it's all on the table. Everything's out there. But the No. 1 thing with Nick and with Mitch that we are concerned about now is making sure their health is the No. 1 priority, and that'll be significant here moving forward."
