Nick Foles arrived in Chicago from Jacksonville Jaguars in one of the surprise trades this summer. The former Arizona College graduate was drafted by Philadelphia Eagles in 2012. Since then, he has spent time with St Louis Rams (Now Los Angeles Rams) and Kansas City Chiefs before returning to Philadelphia in 2017.
Foles famously led the Eagles to the Super Bowl LII title. But has never reached those heights again. He joined Chicago Bears in the 2020 offseason. He was brought in to challenge youngster Mitchell Trubisky for a starting spot this season.
However, Head Coach Matt Nagy confirmed that Trubisky will now be the first-choice quarterback heading into Week One.
